Apps advice, please

The memsahib has kindly bought me a Samsung Galaxy Mini smartphone, introducing me to a world of 'apps' I find baffling, given my age and fast-failing, analogue-trained brain.

For now, I simply want to be able to read my e-mails on the move - but have had conflicting instructions as to how to go about it from Orange; Samsung's 'help' line people; and the Samsung manual for the phone itself.

It seems that, despite the promises in the manual, I have to download a suitable e-mail app from, for example, Android Marketplace. My question is this: is the recommended/sensible/cheapest method to download the app (and indeed, any app) to my PC direct from the internet before copying it to the phone; or do I have to do it via a slow mobile connection straight to the mobile?

Thanks in anticipation for any tips...
