If the referred recovery method or none of the recovery tools can recover
your data, you'd be indeed be out of luck.
It might be a hard lesson, but especially when doing something like a sync
or an import, you should make a backup first. Of course, regular backups (of
any data, not just Outlook data) should always be a common practice when
working with computers and data you don't want to lose.
