Smart mailboxes disappear shortly after I create them

On my desktop, I have created smart mailboxes, only to have them disappear shortly after I create them. Recreating them has the same outcome. What can I do to remedy this situation?


By the way, I create and use smart mailboxes on my laptop, with no problem.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6

I have solved the problem. The solution involved reinstalling MacOS (Monterey 12.6) and reinstalling all the personal data on my hard disk. I did it with the help of some folks at Apple support. My smart mailboxes work again, without a problem.
