I also use Thunderbird, but when stanning with avast the progress bar in the client is only really useful for the progress of the transfer between the e-mail client and avast.
For example: If I'm sending a large e-mail, the progress bar in Thunderbird will reach 99% when it has transferred the e-mail to avast. It will then stay at 99% until avast has scanned the e-mail and uploaded it to the mail server.
For large e-mails the transfer between avast and the mail server can take a while and I would like it if avast could display the progess of that.
I take it that it avast can't do that, then?
