Reviewed by: CNET Staff
If you're looking for a client that will handle all your email needs, Pegasus Mail should move to the top of your download list. It won't do back flips or sing the national anthem at ball games, but you won't mind after using this program a few days of acclimination.
The interface design is similar to that of other email clients, with three primary panes: one for your mailbox directory tree, another listing the subject lines of messages, and a third "preview" pane displaying the content of the selected message. Pegasus Mail's toolbar includes a few more buttons than typical email clients, which may cause slight initial confusion for novice users. The help feature is thorough, so any level user should be able to quickly solve any difficulties. Pegasus Mail has robust mail merge and mail management features that power users will immediately appreciate; novices will find an extensive explanation in the help guide. It also is designed to work with a Novell Network LAN, making it a good choice for work as well as home use.
The program performed reliably and impressively in all our tests, including sorting, configuring and using filters. We have no reservations in recommending this remarkable free email client to any and all users.

Version: Pegasus Mail 4.51
Pros: Have been using the product for years, suits my business and personal use, and
has all the bells and whistles to get the job done, and I don't even use all of
the functionality available.Cons: This latest version crashes quite often. Mr. Harris rewrote the code for it and then
proposes to stop updates unless users fork over some money. If this version
worked better than the last version, I would say "ok". Now looking to replace it.Summary: Especially like the options in attaching files: use recent file, recent directory, favourite
directory and so forth. As well as saving text files for duplicate messages, it is easy
to paste in the text. A little difficult to add email PO... read more >> - See 1 user review Write review
