Pegasus Mail allows you to send, receive, and manage your email, whether on your network or Gmail, Yahoo, or other Internet-based accounts.

Pros

Easy setup: From the initial install and setup, Pegasus Mail helps guide you with easy-to-follow wizards and a good Help file/user manual. For single users, you may have to look up the POP information for your Internet emails, but for the most part, the work is done for you. Setting up for multiple users does require some tech know-how, but the Help file also covers setup options in detail.

Multi-user support: We liked the fact that each user could have their own folders and separate setup, but you could also opt to share an address book with all users.

Easy to navigate: Similar to Outlook, the left pane holds a tree list of your email-related folders, which you can view in more detail on the right. There are more icons, but descriptive tooltips help explain the purpose of each.

Cons

Interface: We'll have to nitpick here, because Pegasus Mail was an all-around good app in our tests. If we could change one thing, it might be to spruce up the utilitarian interface. It's hard to quibble when other paid email clients aren't that pretty either, but it is the program's weakest point.

Bottom Line

With its multi-account support and clean, easy to navigate interface, Pegasus Mail is a great tool. Even if you've never set up an email client before, the wizards and helpful user manual will give you all the help you need. Best of all, it costs nothing to try.

couldn't make it work on WinXP either

Pros
--------------------------------------------------------
Cons
Tried for hours to get at a simple Gmail account with different settings of ports and security etc, POP and IMAP, listed in Gmail's instructions. Installed and uninstalled several times with changing parameters. The best I got was an error message that the connection was rejected. Otherwise it didn't catch anything...
Summary
Doesn't work in Windows7.1

Pros
Don't know, as I couldn't make it work.
Cons
Doesn't run, doesn't tell what is the problem, doesn't say in acoompanying files anything about its incompatibility with W8.1
Summary
Don't lose your time if yiu are using PostVista Winfows.
At one time a great program, but ....

Pros
At one time a great program, but .....
Cons
I used to swear by this program, after many bugs crept into the updates and were not fixed for extended periods of time, including use with other languages, I had no choice but to abandon this program. The author is basically a one man show, with some user assistance in his community, but this hasn't been enough to overcome the shortcomings of a one man show.
Summary
Great Program

Pros
Multiple users and mutiple accounts per user is no problem Works even from my USB-stick Easy to Backup
Cons
It can take some time to get used to know the program No linux support (but it works with wine)
Summary

This program does not work on windows7 32 bit (64 too?)
chatologicJune 2, 2014
Pros
free, pretty much that is it
Cons
I installed and launched the program. The setup screen prompted to select network, multi-user or single user installation. After clicking the button it disappeared and never came back. Pegasus mail installed to programs the Pegasus Mail program and the HTML Renderer. I could not uninstalled the renderer. I looked for hours via google search to remove all parts of Pegasus to no avail. I basically had to install again, uninstall, delete the Pegasus folders from the C drive manually and then remove registry entries manually. Of course this will leave you with the feeling that parts of it are still installed some where else like system32 etc
Summary
I highly recommend you look for another email client if you have any other operating system with Vista or higher.
Setting it up is a full time job.
jeff_zzzNovember 20, 2013
Pros
Lot's of features, but not very ergonomic.
Cons
Setting its SMTP server is only an option for pros.
Summary
Setting it up is a full time job.
Very interesting application.
SAGauthier0000May 12, 2013
Pros
Was easily installed and worked right away. Easy to used as a basic email system at first.
Cons
The most complicated is the more fancy set-up like coloring, identification of folders, etc. Windows (7)doesn't see it. Is it because it need to be installed in drive C:? and I didn't found how to make it worked with other application (Picassa, IE, Skipe). It's like the program is not there even if I made associated ext.mapimail with Pegasus mail for Windows.
Summary
Anyway, it seems to be a very promising application; I have a lot of time so I will work on it.
I find it very difficult to set-up.
alc69April 23, 2013
Pros
I like the lay out
Cons
I don't seem to get the answers I need from the help file. I could never figure out how to change to HTML and change how to view incoming mail. It is to time consuming in my opinion..
Summary
I think there are better choices, although I can't find an e-mail client I like since I can't get Outlook Express..
Not what it is made out to be.
wood58bApril 3, 2013
Pros
Works fine if you can conquer the learning curves of setting it up. For the average user that is not going to happen.
Cons
Much too complicated to set up and the only way to remove it is formatting the PC. (The Only Way)
Summary
Find something else.....
