Far less painful would have been to restore your last good backup. This
assumes that:
- Circular logging is not enabled,
- You still have all your transaction logs, and
- You've corrected the hardware/firmware/driver problem related to your disk
subsystem that created the corruption in the first place.

Subject: RE: Exmerge to repair IS
Well, here's what happened. We noticed last week that the backups were not
taking place. I manually kicked off a backup (we use Veritas Backup Exec)
and noticed that it would fail at the same place as the scheduled one. That
night I ran ESEUTIL to do an offline defrag and it stopped with err -1018
JET_errReadVerifyFailure. Running ESEUTIL in repair mode was taking longer
than "the powers that be" were comfortable with. A colleague of mine had the
same error message come up a couple of years ago and when he contacted PSS
they instructed him use EXMERGE to pull the data out, create a new priv.edb
and the use EXMERGE to put the data back into the new priv.edb file. The
exact procedure is outlined in Q259688.

Exmerge wouldn't be the tool I'd use to recover from a
damaged IS, so I'm not sure what you've done. In any
case, there is a limit of 32K for rules, period. It
sounds like maybe yours are corrupt.
"Failed to get inbox" could mean just about anything.
It's a pretty generic message.
