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 4.52
"Has had a spectacular feature list for many years"
Pros: It's easy to automate many advanced functions, setting them to trigger upon receipt, before or after initial processing, etc. It contains a built-in Bayesian spam filter (learns from each message).
Cons: The ONLY thing I would change in Pegasus is its slightly quirky way of sending attachments. At the receiving end they're seen as separate discrete messages, which confuses the uninitiated.
Summary: Have used Pegasus since 1988. Its features and functionality are unsurpassed. The only blemish -- and a minor one at that -- is the attachment quirk noted above as a con.
