Pegasus Mail is
an e-mail client that runs on computers using Microsoft Windows: by
client, we mean that it interacts directly with the user, allowing
mail to be sent, read, filed, printed and otherwise manipulated
through a graphical interface. Probably one of the most feature-rich
mail clients available, most users say that they find the program easy
to use despite its richness. Small and fast, Pegasus Mail can be left
running permanently on the workstation and includes powerful tools to
notify the user when new mail arrives.
Pegasus Mail
can run on single Windows computers, or local area networks - it has
special support for Novell NetWare LANs that allow it to operate
intuitively and with almost no maintenance. The program also supports
multiple users on a single computer. Versions are available for both
32-bit Windows (Windows 95, 98, NT4 and 2000) and 16-bit Windows (any
version of Windows 3.1 or later). Pegasus Mail can act as a complete
internal mail system on its own without needing further servers or
components: it can send and receive Internet mail on its own using
standard protocols (SMTP, IMAP and POP3). By adding our Mercury Mail
Transport System as a mail server, you can provide fully-integrated
centralized Internet e-mail services and mailing list management for
your Pegasus Mail users.
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.
