If rebuilding the OST (Offline Storage Table) file fixes the issue, it indicates that the OST file was corrupted. The OST file stores a copy of your mailbox data locally. Corruption can occur due to improper shutdowns or network issues. Rebuilding the OST file creates a fresh, synchronized copy of your mailbox, resolving the connection problems. Be aware that rebuilding can take a significant amount of time.
