What it is
An open-source email client from Mozilla. It collects accounts from different providers into one window and downloads mail to your PC, so past messages stay readable offline. It comes from the makers of Firefox and is free for personal and business use.
When to pick this
If you have several mail accounts or want mail kept on your own machine. With a single webmail account there is little reason to install it.
Details
Several accounts in one place
No moving between websites per account. Particularly convenient when you juggle work and personal mail.
Stored on your PC
Mail is downloaded locally, so it reads offline — which also means you must back up the profile folder before reformatting.
Calendar included
A calendar ships with it, so mail and schedule live in the same program.
