Pegasus Mail 4.80
Pegasus Mail does all the basics of e-mail, and far more than that... This list is by no means comprehensive - it concentrates on the highlights.
- Security: Pegasus Mail protects you from even the worst HTML-borne virus and trojans, and protects your privacy by intercepting web bugs.
- View your folders in either a multi-pane mode 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.
