Search Folders - Not Responding

I have been using EMClient many years now and have 2 licenses for my use.
One feature that I have always used is search folders.
In the last few months, now, clicking on a search folder often results in a non-responsive EM-Client for up to 5 minutes.
This did not occur before - and certainly not with V9.
For me, it makes EM-Client unusable.
