Anybody know where i can get the disks for OSX10.6.8? A client of mine has a mac but the mail program isn't installed and she needs it to email web pages. The laptop was bought 2nd hand and the disks didn't come with it.

I've set up thunderbird but it can only share links and not full pages.
Alternatively is there another way to install the mail program?

What Mac is it exactly? Maybe it can be upgraded to a newer version of OS X that you can find easier or just download for free from the Mac App Store.

You don't need the disks unless its an ancient laptop that doesn't support USB boot.
Bit weird that it doesn't have mail though, someone must have deleted it.

I'd install something newer anyway - 10.6.8 is a few revisions behind. Unless its a really old Macbook - i.e the old black core duo ones which don't go past 10.7.3

I'd be happy to loan a USB with the installer on, or help upgrade her laptop if she's in Cape Town.
