What SeaMonkey Mail is

SeaMonkey Mail is the email component of SeaMonkey, a free, open-source desktop suite. The suite combines a web browser, email and newsgroup client, RSS and Atom feed reader, HTML editor, IRC chat, and web development tools. Mail supports multiple accounts, tabbed messages, adaptive junk controls, customizable tags, and mail views. Mail & Newsgroups adds S/MIME, digital signing, return receipts, address books, and LDAP support. SeaMonkey is available for Windows x64, macOS x64, and Linux x64, using the Gecko browser engine and supporting add-ons and themes through its extension site. SeaMonkey 2.53.24 was released July 28, 2026; automatic upgrades from earlier 2.53.x versions are enabled. The project warns that this release changes profiles in a way that cannot be reversed for versions earlier than 2.53.1, so a full backup is advised. SeaMonkey is supported by a German nonprofit association established in January 2012. Community help is available through mailing lists, newsgroups, forums, IRC, and Matrix.
