My Mail smart mailboxes have stopped working, how can I fix that?

All my Mail smart mailboxes have stopped registering/displaying new messages since installing the latest Tahoe 26.0.1 upgrade (old ones prior to that upgrade are still displayed.)

The Today and Today Viewed are completely empty.

I am using a MacBook Air M1. I have tried closing and restarting Mail, and also shutting down the laptop and restarting, but to no effect.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.0

Did you try to delete the Smart Boxes and create new ones?

However, if the default Today smart box does not work, this might be macOS 26 software related.
