It will automatically create a new and healthy OST file. In case of an orphaned OST file or an IMAP server not available, use SysTools OST Recovery Software.

Just close Outlook, then run the ScanPST.exe tool you'll find in your Outlook directory. If that doesn't work, you can just delete the OST file (make sure you back up important data first!) and Outlook will create a new one when you restart it.
