I’ve encountered the “Error Reading the Rules from Server” issue in Outlook multiple times. This usually happens when the mailbox rules get corrupted, or there’s a problem with the server connection (especially in Exchange or Office 365 environments). It can also occur if the mailbox size exceeds its limit.
From my experience, the easiest way to fix this is to clear or recreate the mailbox rules using Outlook or OWA. However, if the problem persists, sometimes the underlying PST/OST file could be corrupted. In such cases, I highly recommend using Stellar Repair for Outlook. It repairs the PST file completely, restoring rules, emails, and other mailbox items without data loss.
