Turn on the **Thunderbird Email Client** feature.
 
Close the Persistent Storage settings.
 
Restart Tails.

Tails detects that you have both the **Thunderbird Email Client** and **Additional
Software** features of the Persistent Storage turned on and automatically
adds *Thunderbird* to your list of additional software.
 
Tails also tries to install as additional software the language package
that corresponds to the language of this Tails session, if it exists. To
use *Thunderbird* in another language, see [[using *Thunderbird* in
another language|thunderbird#language]].
 
[[Connect to the Tor network.|doc/anonymous_internet/tor]]
 
*Thunderbird* is downloaded and installed in the background after you
connected to the Tor network.
 
This first installation can take several minutes. During this time, no
*Thunderbird* launcher is available in the **Apps** menu.
 
<p>If you are comfortable with the command line and [[set up an
administration
password|doc/first_steps/welcome_screen/administration_password]] when
starting Tails, you can execute the following command to track the progress
of the download and installation:</p>
 
<p class="command">sudo journalctl -f -u tails-additional-software-upgrade.service</p>
 
After *Thunderbird* is installed, choose **Apps&nbsp;▸ Internet&nbsp;▸ Thunderbird** to open *Thunderbird*.
Um *Enigmail* für Ihren E-Mail Account einzurichten, können Sie den
*Enigmail-Assistenten* starten, in dem Sie
<span class="menuchoice">
**[[!img menu.png alt="Menu" class=symbolic link=no]]**&nbsp;▸
**Enigmail**&nbsp;▸
**Enigmail-Assistent**</span> wählen.
*Thunderbird* will be reinstalled automatically every time you start Tails.
Future installations will be much faster since *Thunderbird* is already
downloaded to your Persistent Storage.
 
<h2 id="account">Configuring an email account</h2>
Konfigurieren Sie einen E-Mail Account
When opening *Thunderbird* for the first time, an assistant appears to help you configure and access your email account.
 
Enter your name, email address, and password into the corresponding fields.
 
Click **Continue**.
 
The assistant tries to configure automatically the correct settings to connect to your email provider based on your email address.
 
If the automatic configuration fails, consult your email provider
about how to configure your email account manually.
 
If the automatic configuration succeeds, you might have to specify which protocol to use to connect to your email provider, either **IMAP** or **POP**.
 
- With **IMAP**,
*Thunderbird* constantly synchronizes
with the server and displays the emails and folders that are
currently stored on the server. IMAP is better suited if you access
your emails from different operating systems.
 
- With **POP**,
*Thunderbird* downloads the emails that
are in the inbox on the server and possibly deletes them from the
server. POP is better suited if you access your emails from Tails only
and store them in the Persistent Storage.
 
To know more, see also this [comparison between POP and
IMAP](https://help.riseup.net/en/email/clients/#choose-imap-or-pop) by
Riseup.
