What is Thunderbird?

Thunderbird [thunderbird.net] is a free e-mail client and RSS client for Windows and Linux provided by Mozilla.

A window with three tabs, one blank, one that reads "Account Setup" (active), and one that reads "thunderbird Privacy Notice." In the active tab, it says "Set Up Your Existing Email Address." "To use your current email address fill in your credentials. Thunderbird will automatically sarch for a working and recommended server configuration." Three fields: Your full name (example: John Doe); Email address (example: john.doe@example.com); and Password. A checkbox "Remember password." Two buttons: continue and cancel. "Your credentials will only be stored locally on your computer." A message at the bottom reads: "Thunderbird is free and open source software, built by a community of thousands from all over the word." A button "Know your rights..."
The first thing that is shown to you when you open Mozilla Thunderbird: a page for setting up your e-mail account.
