Pegasus Mail 4.61

Published February 23, 2011 by Download Software

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 98, NT4, 2000, XP and Vista) 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.

Features:
* Multilingual availability – available with fully-translated French, German and Italian interfaces, as well as English.
* 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.
* Bayesian filtering – Pegasus Mail’s built-in Spamhalter Bayesian filter learns from the spam you receive and automatically files it in your junk folder.

* Automatic replies and automatic forwarding when interfaced with our Mercury mail server

* 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.

System Requirements:

Changelog:

# New HTML renderer HTML has become increasingly common in e-mail, even though it is actually not especially well-suited to the medium and is technically challenging to implement there. Version 4.61 includes a new HTML renderer that uses the built-in power of Internet Explorer to render HTML. Developed by Michael in der Wiesche, this renderer has been exhaustively tested and secured, and we believe it meets all our very high standards for security. For people who really don’t trust Internet Explorer, though, Martin Ireland’s BearHTML renderer has also been improved and can be used instead with a single click of a button.

# New graphics, updated interface Version 4.61 sports beautiful new graphics designed by Sven Henze. The program is also most of the way towards a redesigned user interface with a more “modern” 3D look. We believe the combination of Sven’s graphics and the new look make the program very attractive in a classical way.

# Numerous bug fixes including, but not limited to the following: HTML messages with very long lines will now render correctly; mailto: specifiers are now removed correctly when adding addresses to addressbooks and lists; fixed crashes caused by various types of malformed message; corrected the colour selector for filtering rules; allowed folders to be dragged onto closed trays when rearranging the folder hierarchy… and many more.

# Accent expansion in the glossary you can now created accented characters using the Glossary Expansion key (Ctrl+E in the English version). Simply type the base character followed by the accent you want added, then press Ctrl+E. For example, to create an e-acute character (é) simply type e’ then press Ctrl+E. For a complete table of the accented characters that can be created, consult the full Pegasus Mail help file.

# Confirm-reading prompts You can now have Pegasus Mail prompt you for whether or not a confirmation-of-reading message is sent when a message contains a request for one (the original options for always and never sending them remain available as well). Make this change in the “Advanced” settings page.

# Size column for drafts and queued mail The window that displays draft messages and messages in the sending queue now includes a size column, by popular request.

# Attachment size controls System administrators wanting to control the maximum sizes of attachments sent with the program can now do so by running the LIMITS.EXE program supplied with the system. LIMITS.EXE allows you to specify both soft and hard limits (a “soft” limit pops up a warning but still allows the user to add the attachment, while a “hard” limit does not allow the attachment to be added). LIMITS.EXE places values in the Windows Registry, and system administrators may wish to remove it from the installation directory to a location not accessible to users.

# Commandline and GUI versions of MBXMAINT The Mailbox Maintenance utility, MBXMAINT, now comes as two versions: MBXMAINT.EXE is a commandline utility that can be used in scripts, while MBXMAINT_UI is the traditional GUI version of the application. Both have also been slightly improved in the types of error conditions they can handle.
