In t-bird 102, does the control-shift-K still work as great as it
does using NVDA for filtering messages with different
characteristics in headers like "messages with attachments," or
with something you can type inside the area you are searching for
like "pete" or John," for example?
sure works well in v91 . . .

You could try maximizing the window or normalizing it, whatever is
the opposite of what it is now, but I didn't do that.

What did you change in the settings in address book or program
that seemed to get it to work?

New in Thunderbird 102
This article describes some of the major changes visible
to users in Thunderbird version 102. Full details of all
the changes can be found in the Thunderbird release notes
from 102.0 and up.
Thunderbird is both free and freedom respecting, but we’re
also completely funded by donations! Help us sustain the
project and continue to improve.

MESSAGE HEADER REDESIGN
Thunderbird 102 helps you be more productive with less
effort. When reading your email, the redesigned message
header allows you to focus on what matters as it
highlights important information. It’s also more
responsive and easier to navigate. Plus, you can star
important messages from the message header itself, and
easily convert them into a calendar event or a task.
NEW ADDRESS BOOK
Thunderbird 102 gives your contacts a serious upgrade! The
refreshed design makes it easier to navigate and interact
with your contacts, and helps you better understand who
you’re communicating with. The new Address Book has
compatibility with vCard specs, meaning if your app can
export your existing contacts into vCard format,
Thunderbird can import them. Each contact card also acts
as a launchpad for messaging, email, and event creation.

Thunderbird.
NEW IMPORT/EXPORT WIZARD
Thunderbird 102 makes it quick and simple to move your
accounts and data around. The new step-by-step wizard
provides a guided experience for importing all that data
that’s important to you. We’ve also taken extra
precautions to ensure that no data is accidentally
duplicated in your profile after an import. Moving from
Outlook, SeaMonkey, or another Thunderbird installation is
easier than ever. No add-ons required!
NEW SPACES TOOLBAR
Thunderbird 102 makes navigating the application more
intuitive thanks to the the new Spaces Toolbar. Move
between all of your activities with ease, whether it’s
managing email, working with contacts through the awesome
new address book, using the calendar and tasks
functionality, chat, and even add-ons! If you want to save
screen real estate, the Spaces Toolbar can be dismissed,
and you can instead navigate the different activities
Thunderbird offers with the new Pinned Spaces tab.

NEW MATRIX CHAT SUPPORT
Thunderbird 102 offers a new way to chat privately and
securely with your colleagues, friends, and family. We’ve
added support for the open-source, decentralized chat
protocol Matrix, and it’s usable right out of the box! (As
always, we welcome your feedback since it’s an evolving
service.)
OTHER NOTABLE CHANGES
There are many other big changes that make Thunderbird 102
a very large release including:
• New Icons and Default Folder Colors
• Use Thunderbird without an email account (for example,
as an RSS reader)
• Numerous OpenPGP improvements
• CalendarLocal parser converted to javascript
• Today Pane calendar UI refresh
• POP3 implemented in javascript
• Account settings moved to macOS application menu
• Plus: Application-wide font size control, Theme fixes,
FileLink fixes, Accessibility fixes, improved vCard
integration, improved calendar startup performance,
Calendar fixes including correct order of week view
headers and days for right to left locales.
You can see details of all our changes in the release
notes for Thunderbird 102.0 and up.

I don't use that feature but without having tried it, it appears
that the same interface comes up and that it is just as accessible.
This is an excellent example of how people who want to see if a new
version of Thunderbird does what they want can do so using
Thunderbird portable. If they are using an installed version and
they want to continue doing so, they can place Thunderbird Portable
on a machine and leave the installed version as it is. If they are
already using the portable version, they can have a back up of the
current version, upgrade and, if they want to go back, just delete
the folder containing the updated version and copy the backup folder
to the location from which they usually run the portable version.
If you do this and you don't want it to automatically update,
disconnect from the internet, run the copy of the backup you placed
in the location from which you run the program, and make sure the
update setting is to inform you of updates but let you decide
whether to update. for some reason, that setting is often lost and
it reverts to automatic updating when you copy the folder to
different locations.
