I am new to debian linux.

thanks

Sure, you can install thunderbird from the command line with:
apt-get install thunderbird
(you must be root to do this)

To istall thunderbird
apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird

I usually add in enigmail and GNUpg so I can sign and encrypt emails
apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail gnupg

There is also Evolution and KMail (comes with KDE).

Evolution integrates very well with GNOME and KMail, like mentioned above, comes withe KDE.

Sylpheed is also available..but I don't recommend it.

I've used Sylpheed Claws for quite a while, and I definitley recommend it
It's faster and lighter than all of the mentioned apps (I use the Gtk2 version).

Really? I had trouble with it. It would only import my mail that didn't have labels (Gmail).

I've never used labels in gmail, I don't really need them as I d/l all of my mail. I started using Sylpheed Claws when Thunderbird just got too slow and it's grown on me, mainly because of it's speed (though it still has a ton of features). Did you use sylpheed claws or just sylpheed?
