I created a saved search on Thunderbird (POP, mac M1) to get all messages not older that 5 days. The result is aberrant: only a few messages are found and not the right ones.

I tried deleting and recreating the smart folder, with no success. I also tried to compact folders. No improvement.

By 'smart folder', do you mean the Mail/smart mailboxes subfolder of the profile? Did you also delete virtualFolders.dat?

Yes I mean saving a search as shown on the attachment. I did not delete virtualFolders.dat but I rebuilt the index and now it seems to work. Thanks for helping.
