Lost contacts after deleting an exchange email
Hi all,
I changed my job a year ago but I kept the exchange email on my iPhone although I don't have access to the email anymore since that time. Why? At the beginning it was simply to keep the latest emails I received before leaving the old company.
Today, I deleted the exchange account from my iPhone and lost many contacts. I guess some of the contacts were stored on the exchange account and not on iCloud. There was a local copy on my iPhone somehow and deleting the Exchange account deleted the contacts associated to that account. That being said, I am pretty sure I once synced everything on iCloud to avoid this.
The crazy thing is that even contacts added a week ago are gone. My question is: Is it possible that contacts added lately on the iPhone are added to the Exchange account even if the Exchange account is not accessible since a year?
Any explanation would be helpful to figure out if I can still hope to retrieve some of the lost data or not.
Than you
iPhone X, iOS 11.4
