Outlook 2016 not showing email in folders after PST import

Image
After importing a backup PST (used by an IMAP client) into Outlook 2016 the email was not showing in Outlook locally. I confirmed the OST file it imported into grew in size during the import. I copied one email from the PST file to the OST and it disappeared. I then discovered when browsing the folders at the very bottom it displayed “filter applied” as shown below: This was a new email profile and there should not have been any filters applied.
