Mozilla Thunderbird is a cross-platform email client, news client, RSS, and chat client most famous for the fact that it is free and open-sourced.
As a testimony to its popularity, it is currently one of the most popular e-mail clients used around the world.

That is where Password Manager will come into the picture, and offer to remember what you’ve entered.
