email client

Digital mail program

An email client is software that lets you read, compose, and manage email on your device.

Unlike webmail accessed through a browser, an email client is a dedicated application—Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail—that downloads messages to your computer or phone: I prefer using an email client so I can read messages offline.
