Trends in interface design also changed over the years, and Pegasus Mail did not follow those changes, still having essentially the same user interface it had in its first Windows version, with very few later additions (such as the 'preview window' mode).

However, the free distribution of Microsoft Outlook Express or later email client as a standard part of Microsoft Windows since Windows 98, and the distribution of Microsoft Outlook, initially free of charge with PC magazines and then as an integral part of Microsoft Office, from 1997 dealt a significant blow to the market share of Pegasus Mail for Windows and other email clients, from which many never fully recovered.Īlso, with the widespread distribution of Microsoft Outlook, user expectations of the range of features a program incorporating an email client should offer (Outlook's email, newsgroups, calendar, etc., eventually as part of an integrated suite) did not fulfil new users' expectations, regardless of the features of the email client proper. Pegasus Mail pioneered many features now taken for granted with other email clients, such as filtering and simultaneous access to multiple POP3 and IMAP4 accounts. While Pegasus Mail and Mercury handle email only, the function of Pegasus Mail is comparable to Microsoft Outlook's mail handling, and Mercury to Microsoft Exchange Server. Pegasus Mail for Windows can be used as a standalone mail client using POP3 or IMAP for incoming mail and SMTP for outgoing, or on a NetWare or Windows network in conjunction with the Mercury Mail Transport System for Windows or NetWare, also by David Harris, running on a network server to receive mail and distribute it to users. Release 4.41 also has, amongst other features, an improved HTML rendering engine, better support for special character encoding (especially with UTF-8), phishing protection, and a full-fledged Bayesian spam filter. Release 4.41 added support for filtering of spam with header and body checking for key phrases (already before download).

Pegasus Mail supports the POP3, IMAP, and SMTP protocols as well as Novell's MHS. This caused problems with NetWare servers with a small System volume and larger ones for data storage, as users often kept many large messages in their new mail folders.

Later it was possible, although rather complicated, to store received mail on another volume, but new mail had to remain on System. This was not a problem when messages were brief text files. Although no longer developed or supported, older versions for MS-DOS and Apple Macintosh are still available.Ī problem with early versions is that mail was stored on the NetWare System volume. Early versions used only a non-standard format for mail folders later versions offer the standard Unix mailbox format as an alternative to the Pegasus Mail format. The original version worked with Novell NetWare networks and their Message Handling System (MHS) mail system a cut-down MHS-only version called FirstMail was bundled with NetWare. Mail may be marked by the user as read or unread, overriding the default setting.

Pegasus has the facility, not provided by all mail clients, optionally to download headers only, allowing the user to select mail to ignore for now and deal with later, download and delete from the server (normal mail operation for POP3 access), download a copy of a message while leaving it on the server, or delete without downloading. (Note that this is not the same as the risk of malicious email or email attachments if opened outside Pegasus.) Malicious HTML tends to be highly dependent on the exact target application and OS, therefore by avoiding both the ubiquitous HTML renderer supplied with Windows and not allowing automation commands such as ActiveX and JavaScript to execute from within an email in its inbuilt renderer, Pegasus reduces substantially the risk of infection from viewing email. It is available in German (as well as English), in the past language packs were available for French and Italian.Ī significant feature of the Microsoft Windows version of Pegasus Mail is that users have the choice not to use Microsoft Internet Explorer's HTML layout engine when displaying HTML email.

Since Pegasus Mail does not make changes to the Windows registry or the system directory, it is suitable as a portable application for USB drives. Pegasus Mail has minimal system requirements compared with competing products, for instance the installed program (excluding mailboxes) for version 4.52 requires only around 13.5 MB of hard drive space. Pegasus Mail (PMail) is suitable for single or multiple users on stand-alone computers and for internal and Internet mail on local area networks.
