Click **Continue**.

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.
