To recover Office 365 Outlook emails from Time Machine:

  • If you used Classic Outlook → YES, you can restore
  • → Restore the Outlook data folder from Time Machine
  • If you used New Outlook → NO local mail exists, restore from Exchange online instead
  • POP and "On My Computer" folders can be fully recovered
  • Exchange/Microsoft 365 accounts usually recover mail from server, not Time Machine
