SeaMonkey (Windows) E-mail Setup Guide
SeaMonkey is an Internet communications suite that is freely downloadable from www.seamonkey-project.org. Also included is a Web browser, page editor, and an IRC client. Be sure to periodically check the SeaMonkey download site for updates to keep up to date with the latest security and bug fixes.
If you want only the e-mail component instead of the entire suite, you may want to download Thunderbird from www.mozilla.com. Thunderbird automatically checks for its updates and offers to download and install them for you.
