Look for an envelope icon on a panel or a submenu labeled something
like Internet. If you want a graphical e-mail reader, you can start by looking for one of these
clients: Evolution, Mozilla Mail, Thunderbird, or KMail.
After you have launched your chosen e-mail client, you need some information to use it. When
you first start most graphical e-mail clients, a configuration screen of some sort asks you to set up
an account. Here??™s how to begin setting up a mail account for the e-mail clients described in this
chapter:
 Evolution??”The Evolution Setup Assistant starts the first time each user opens Evolution.
After that, select Tools???Settings from the main Evolution window. Then choose Mail
Accounts and double-click the mail account you want to modify.
 Mozilla Mail??”An account wizard starts the first time you open Mozilla Mail. After that,
you can set up or modify accounts from the Mozilla Mail window by clicking Edit???Mail
& Newsgroups Account Settings.
 Thunderbird??”This is the next-generation mail client from the people that bring you
Firefox and Mozilla (mozilla.org). Now at version 1.5, and with more advanced security
features, you might consider Thunderbird. Not only is it faster than Mozilla Mail and
Evolution, Thunderbird is an ideal complement to Mozilla Firefox Web browser.
