Smart Mailboxes not working consistently

Question

Smart Mailboxes not working consistently

This past week, my smart mailboxes starting having no contents. Both on my desktop (Mac Studio Ultra, running Ventura 13.6) and laptop (Macbook Pro M1, running Ventura 13.5). But the pattern is odd...

"Today" will be empty, and maybe "Yesterday" is empty. "This Week" became empty this morning, on Sunday (so new week).

Completely closing mail and then reopening did not make a difference. Deleting and recreating the smart mailbox made no difference. A full reboot seemed to resolve the problem... at least temporarily.

I've seen some other posts about this, with earlier Ventura upgrades, with no specific resolutions or explanations of cause.

Thoughts?

and... it's back, but this time, only on my desktop.

I've rebooted, rebuilt the mail boxes, recreated the smart mailboxes, rebuilt the Spotlight Index (both completely, and just the mail segment), and this time it's not resolving.

Anyone with any other tricks?

(Hoping that @Barney-15E has more up his sleeve!)
