My understanding is (and I downloaded these just last week) that there is still
the latest Mozilla, which incorporates email and the rest, OR you can download
standalone products (Firebird for browsing, Thunderbird for email). Current
Thunderbird builds, in my experience, may leave you stranded in want of some
libraries, but the latest stable Mozilla build, including mail reader, work
just great. In fact, the mail reader is about to become my new "recommended"
mail reader, based largely on it's built in, "self-learning" junk mail filters.
I quite like it. If you wish to do it manually, download Mozilla 1.4 for linux
from the link at http://www.mozilla.org
