Lost contacts and mail messages

[David Perfette]

I had an issue with Outlook which instructed me to use
detect and repair to fix the problem. However, when I did
this, I lost all my contacts and mail messages. Is there
any way i can retrieve them

Most likely. You didn't tell us anything about your version or setup.
Assuming you are using a PST file for Outlook data storage, search for and
open each PST file on your hard drive until you find your data.
