- With <span class="guilabel">IMAP</span>,
<span class="application">Thunderbird</span> 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.

English type: Plain text
- With <span class="guilabel">POP</span>,
<span class="application">Thunderbird</span> 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.

<p>Since Tails 4.13 (November 2020), <em>Thunderbird</em> 78 replaces the
<em>Enigmail</em> extension with built-in support for OpenPGP encryption. If
you used <em>Enigmail</em> before Tails 4.13, follow our [[migration
instructions|openpgp_migration]].</p>

In *Thunderbird*, OpenPGP private keys are not protected by a passphrase. That's why we recommend that you set up a Primary Password.
