Hi,

Mozilla jumped the gun by releasing TB 102 for GA. According to the 
developer for Betterbird - who has been developing for TB for a long 
time - it can be used since version 102.2, but still contains many bugs: 
https://mzl.la/3bTAURZ
Also Betterbird 91 is still actively being developed, and now at 91.13.

Indeed TbSync + Provider Exchange do not yet work on TB 102, even though 
its developer has already spent much time on fixing this.
The only fix for this is the paid extension Owl 
https://www.beonex.com/owl/, and the only WA for this is to install and 
use webdav http://davmail.sourceforge.net/index.html

sequoia-octopus-librnp 1.4.1 is compatible with TB 102, but still fails 
to build; I'll have another go at this later
