    Thunderbird is also available for macOS and should work fine.

    It looks like Thunderbird stopped supporting MacOS 10.8 in version 52, you can download version 45 from here:

    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/45.8.0/mac/en-US/

    Just note that this version is no longer receiving security for feature updates.

    want to open. I tried to look for alternative e-mail clients, but
    they are all paid programs. I am looking for a simple, good, free
    e-mail client for Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    Haven't seen the other responses yet, but you could give Thunderbird a
    chance. Mailspring is also decent if you don't need Calendar integration.
