While our Mozilla Mail tutorial focuses on Windows, keep in mind that Mozilla Mail is a "cross-platform" email client: it runs and operates the same way on Windows, Apple's Mac OS X and Linux.
The Mozilla Foundation also offers the standalone Thunderbird email client: see the Mozilla Thunderbird Tutorial
Mozilla Mail Tutorial (SeaMonkey Mail Tutorial)
Mozilla Mail is the email application from the open-source Mozilla Internet Suite, which include a browser, an HTML editor and an IRC client program. "Open-source" means that the source code behind the applications is available over the web to any programmer who wishes to shape the future development of the Mozilla Suite.
Open-source also means that Mozilla Mail (and the Mozilla Suite) is absolutely free: no advertisements or annoying pop-ups: It's just free.
Mozilla Mail is extremely close in functionality to its cousin, Thunderbird, created by the commercial arm of the Mozilla Foundation, Mozilla.com. (Unlike Thunderbird, Mozilla Mail isn't a standalone email application, and only comes bundled with the Mozilla Suite.)

Getting Your Copy of Mozilla Mail
Point your browser to the Mozilla website, and choose the version of Mozilla that corresponds to your operating system: the same Mozilla Suite program (and Mozilla Mail) is available for Windows ("Win32"), Mac OS X, Linux (x86), Solaris, and OS/2.
The Windows download link is the first of the list.
