To manually configure an account, you will need to have the following details which can be supplied by your email provider.

If an account that you created automatically was assigned to an IMAP rather than POP server, see the FAQ Changing IMAP to POP article. This page will show you the basic settings you need to send and receive emails. (See Automatic Account Configuration for more information.) However, you will need to manually configure your account if your email provider is not listed in Thunderbird's automatic configuration database, or if you have a non-standard email configuration. That’s because this email service doesn’t integrate with third-party email clients (IMAP/SMTP) due to its unique design, which prioritizes security over interoperability.When you are configuring an email account, Thunderbird will often be able to do most of the configuration automatically. It’s also the only way how to comfortably access ProtonMail apart from ProtonMail’s web app. The app has been designed from the ground up to provide maximum privacy and security when reading, composing, and managing email messages on the go. ProtonMail offers a highly rated app for Android and iOS.

Even if you don’t speak the language of technology, you’ll be able to use ProtonMail and reclaim your personal information.

Unlike many other encrypted email services, ProtonMail is surprisingly easy to use and optimized for productivity.

ProtonMail is based and incorporated in Switzerland, a country with strong privacy laws, and its code is open source and publicly available. Launched in 2014 at the CERN research facility by Andy Yen, Jason Stockman and Wei Sun, ProtonMail is a privacy- and security- conscientious email service that uses client-side encryption to protect email contents and user data before they are sent.
