Guide Review - Pegasus Mail 4.63 - Free Email Program
Pegasus Mail has one of the most flexible filtering and template systems found in any email client, it comes with an encryption engine for secure email built in and lets you set up mailing lists and newsletters using mail merging. A filter wizard helps you build rules from examples in a smart manner.
A well-integrated and precise Bayesian spam filter takes care of junk mail, and some explicit phishing protection alerts you when somebody tries to lead you to a dangerous web site.
With its many sensible tweaks, Pegasus Mail can help you get more efficient at handling email while still having a lot of fun. Even areas such as email management could be streamlined and improved a bit, though, with clear labels attached to messages instead of Pegasus Mail's link folders, for example, or index search in combination with smart virtual folders.
