There are a couple of utilities i can try to test the memory, but i will not have an answer on that until this weekend. Why would reconstruct -i work (minus the few disappearing emails) and reconstruct -r user/short name corrupt the inbox? I have to assume if the inbox didn't get corrupted that the missing emails in question would be there. I have tried to copy emails from inbox to a folder in side the usernames folder, upon a reconstruct -r those emails are now viewable, but the main inbox is still corrupt. Just a few things I tried if any of this helps.
