Full-featured email clients

These are complete email programs, which will read, send and save messages (from one or more accounts), with address books. Some have additional features (filters, search, multiple users). Some of the downloads are large, and the programs are not easily portable.

See also: Compact email clients, which are smaller, more portable, but fewer features.

Don't need to both read and send? Then take a look at these smaller programs to check messages or send messages.

NOTES:
• Programs on this page are listed in alphabetical order.
• Find more on a program (including reviews and download options) by clicking on "Review" icons (links to other freeware sites).
