Thunderbird 102 and mail proxy

After upgrading to v. 102, Thunderbird could no longer write to the mailbox, and I had difficulty determining the cause. It turns out that using the Spambayes mail proxy was the culprit. Bypassing the proxy and changing server settings to that of the mail provider allowed me to download email, but I wanted to proxy to work again.

Searching further turned up this link: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1789314 Setting "mailnews.pop3.jsmodule" to false fixes my problem, but the problem must not be identical to that of Bug 1789314 because it is marked as resolved as of TB 102.3 and not requiring the workaround. I am using 102.9, and the workaround is most definitely still needed.
