I am not using thunderbird 102 and Jaws 2022 latest build seems to be working fine here.

This has virtually always been the case, in my observation, for progress bars that go by very rapidly.  No screen reader ever keeps up with them if you go from zero to one hundred percent in a matter of a few seconds.  You generally keep hearing the next percentage iteration many times after the process is actually done.

If it's a slow rolling progress bar, that's a different story entirely.

Well I am using it.

at least its got a progress bar for popmail now.

However its really not in line with the actual bar and not accurate but it does exist, just be aware your messages will complete before it does but at least its got one now.

I had been on 91.12.0 and did the update to 91.13.0 (both 32-bit versions) and after landing in 91.13.0 the About Thunderbird dialog now contains a button, "Update to 102.2.0."

I haven't fired up Thunderbird in something like 2 weeks, but I know that there had not been a direct, in-place update option between the 91 and 102 series versions in the past.  This is relatively new, and I thought folks should be aware of its presence.

I will be doing that update.  All I was waiting on was an official "in existing installation" way to do this, and it's here.  That's my cue that the developers are confident that the new version really is "ready for primetime."
