Looking at their FTP site, the last version with an installer is 1.4.
To set up mail & news, click on the envelope icon, second from the left,
next to the ship's wheel on the bottom border of the browser window. You
will then need to configure the servers: Edit>Preferences>Mail & News
Groups. Then you need to set up your mail accounts: Edit>Mail &
Newsgroups Account Settings. You can set up multiple accounts.

If you have any further questions after that, ask again!
