Outlook basically creates two files .pst and .ost to save all your data stored in your profile. Being an offline file, OST files always syncs with Exchange server database to help users to view their files offline.
However, if there happens to be a synchronization interruption then there are good chances that you may face errors related to OST files.
Synchronization of OST files with your Exchange server is a crucial process to keep your Outlook updated even during offline mode. And even a single interruption may lead to corruption or inaccessibility in OST files.
It basically affects the reliability and integrity of your offline files thus making it inaccessible along with the stored email data in it.
Due to this several errors popup like:

Unfortunately, if these steps don’t work then the only way through which you can get back your data is by using an effective third-party software.
If you Google, there are zillions of online applications which are available but not all of them are effective in fixing these issues.
Being an expert, I have used and even reviewed a lot of applications on this line and one of the software that I still rely on is SysInfo OST File Recovery.
The software is quite effective in recovering data from corrupt OST files in Windows. In addition, it has been also designed with advanced features to tackle any type of OST file errors like this one.
Plus the best part of this tool is that it has a free demo version which you can just download from their main site and use it. You can use the free version to evaluate the tool and all its features.
Note: The software only runs on Windows and is not compatible with MAC or Linux.
See, it totally depends on the user which method to choose. Being an expert, I would always suggest you go for Method 1. Although, using software to fix issues is an easy job but go for it, only when you are sure that the manual method might not work.
Hope now you know how to troubleshoot MS Outlook internal error code 0000000E.
