To know if you are using IMAP or POP, choose **Configuration ▸ Edit accounts…** and refer to the **Protocol** column in the list of accounts.
1. Choose **Configuration** ▸ **Edit accounts…**, select your IMAP account in the list of accounts, and click **Delete** to delete it. Doing so does not delete any email stored on the server.
In the **Receive** tab, click on the **Browse** button of the **Default Inbox** option and select the **Inbox** folder of the mailbox that you created in step 2.
If you want to keep a copy of the received emails on the server, verify the preferences in the **Receive** tab. We recommend you to disable the **Remove messages on server when received** option until you make sure that the emails are stored in the persistent volume.
If you want to continue using IMAP, you should configure your IMAP account to use **Drafts** and **Queue** folders stored in Tails instead of on the server. To do so:
1. Choose **Configuration** ▸ **Edit accounts…**, select your IMAP account in the list of accounts, and click **Edit** to edit its preferences.
