Please just tell me before I download and see that it was an error. Is it an EMAIL Account or a thing that facilitates email

Thunderbird is not an email provider; it is an email client - the interface between you and your existing email provider.

Thundermail and Thunderbird Pro will be email providers, where you can create accounts and use Thunderbird (or any other client) to access them.
