Pegasus is not a new email client, but the latest version has not been reviewed yet on this forum.
Pegasus is without a doubt the Mother of All Email Clients! This program has every conceivable email function, option, feature, and convenience. It contains everything but the kitchen sink, and it wouldn't surprise me to see that added in the next build.
It is a very feature rich, powerful program! It seems that the author was determined to include absolutely everything in Pegasus that he and his colleagues could imagine pertained to email. Nothing that you could possibly want in an email program has been left out of Pegasus.
The following are the HIGHLIGHTS of the program, there are other features that are not listed here:
Security, security, security: Pegasus Mail protects you from even the worst HTML-borne virus and trojans, and protects your privacy by intercepting web bugs. Pegasus Mail is immune to *all* the exploits that affect the "other" mailer - browse your mail with genuine confidence.
View your folders in either a multi-pane mode (like the "other" mailer) or in Pegasus Mail's powerful "classic" mode, where each folder has its own window and can be manipulated separately. Switching between these views is as simple as clicking a single button.
Mail filtering; Pegasus Mail pioneered this in 1991, and it's still the most powerful implementation of automated rule-based filtering you'll find in a mail client.
Content control allows you to apply comprehensive rules to trap spam and unwanted mail
MailMerge allows you to create customized form letters to multiple recipients
Support for all major Internet mail-related protocols - SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, LDAP, PH
SSL Support on all protocols for secure mail access
Distribution lists allow easy management of large mailing databases
Support for multiple "identities" - easily-selectable groups of preference settings
Support for multiple users on the same machine as well as on networks.
Multiple folder formats and the ability to "mount" other users mailboxes on your desktop
Powerful message editor with full formatting capabilities
Full support for the Internet MIME protocol, including digests and alternative message types
Comprehensive HTML mail generation, in a responsible form - no remote images, scripts or other nasties, just a good range of tables, images and the other formatting you need for real mail.
Powerful, multiple addressbooks with aliasing ("nicknames") and full user detail records
Automatic listing of local users
Complete support for Novell NetWare local area networks, in both NDS and Bindery modes.
Selective download allows you to preview a POP3 mailbox before downloading it.
Offline operation allows you to read and compose your mail while you are not connected to the Internet.
Many ease-of-use features, including easily-accessible lists of recently-used addresses, directories and files, and address completion in any address field.
Message reader supports wrapping options to handle even the most deviant messages
Rich plugin interface allows third-party extensions and mail forms to be developed
Template interface allows you to design complex mail forms using a simple text editor
Spelling checker, with UK English and US English dictionary, and user dictionary additions.
Highlight signficant messages using your own colour schemes
Sort your mail by date, size, sender, subject, colour or thread, in ascending or descending order
Grouped views allow you poweful extended views of the mail in your folders, including presenting message threads based on their activity.
View attachments directly from within the program
Supports confirmation of reading and confirmation of delivery requests
Glossaries allow you to store commonly-used texts and expand them with a single keystroke
Automatic replies and automatic forwarding when interfaced with our Mercury mail server
Powerful encryption interface - the program has its own encryptor, and by adding readily available plugins, can support encryptors such as PGP.
Noticeboards allow controlled posting and reading in public mail areas, much like Internet news.
Optional copies to self ("sent mail" in other programs), with the ability to prompt for a folder where the copy should be placed, and full mail filtering support to file your copies.
Selectable and user-adjustable toolbars
Incredibly rich preferences set allows you to control practically every aspect of the program
Rich options for reporting new mail while the program is minimized on your desktop
Automatic hyperlinking of URLs and e-mail addresses, even in non-HTML messages
Over 300KB of well-indexed, logically-arranged online help
Drag and drop attachments from the desktop to Pegasus Mail
Notepads give you an easily-accessible workspace for storing notes and work in progress
Circulation messages allow you to send a message or document to successive people in order for comment and amendment.
Full DDE interface
Telephone message form for the office environment
Support for multiple simultaneously accessible POP3 and IMAP mailboxes.
Powerful Select feature allows you to select messages based on arbitrarily complex conditions
One can literally get lost in all of its functions, menus , sub-menus, options, and bells and whistles. It even has a built in mail merge feature, and Bayesian Spam Filter, and anti-phishing protection!
WOW....And there are still more feaures! This is definitely the Rolls Royce of email programs!
There are some on this forum who think Outlook is an example of a bloated piece of email Overkill, trust me, they have never used Pegasus. Outlook as an email client is nothing compared to Pegasus!
I would not recommend this program to Newbies. The initial setup, configurations, and options procedures would blow them away! And there are people who think NOD 32 has a difficult to understand GUI, and configuration setup- LOL. Additionally, most users will probably never need to use all of its functions and bells and whistles.
However, this is a good, richly featured, powerful email program. If you're in a business that demands a powerful email program, or if you simply prefer a Rolls Royce, or if you're an experienced user and you just want EVERYTHING an email client can offer, this program might be for you.
I am using old hardware and software, so its execution was a little sluggish on my computer, but using modern hardware and software, it should zip along.
This program is definitely overkill for the average email user, but I did like the program. It has an installed user base of over 4 million worldwide.
This program will appeal to many users. Click on the following link to give it a whirl.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that it is FREE!! Not even a charge to register it. Unbelievable!
