For a broad overview of what this is all about, see the Wikipedia entry here.
The e-mails I will be posting here come from an archive found on the Internet several years ago. These are supposedly the e-mails that Hillary Clinton provided to Congress under subpoena. These were provided by Clinton as printouts and do not include tens of thousands of e-mails deleted by Clinton that she claimed were "private". Some are also heavily redacted. The text provided here is produced via OCR and there may be errors. An image of the e-mail is also provided. Unfortunately, these seem to be in pretty random order.
