2020/08/26 10:49:08 AM            err         Failed to build Outlook Stores cache. Outlook OST or Profile may be corrupt.

New Outlook Profile

This third-party article is pretty clear on how to create a new Outlook Profile, https://www.slipstick.com/outlook/how-to-create-a-new-profile/ 

Please coordinate with your IT if you have questions or trouble.

Note that once you account is configured in the new Profile, it might take an hour or more to recreate Outlook's local data file.  During that time, Outlook will be mostly unresponsive.

Don't delete your old Outlook Profile. You might want to change back to it to review settings.
