Pegasus Mail is a free, standards-based electronic mail client developed by David Harris. It was originally released in 1990 for MS-DOS, but was ported to Microsoft Windows early. Harris maintains both versions.
Pegasus Mail is suitable for use by single or multiple users on single computers or on local area networks. It has served millions of users since it was first released. It is extremely feature-rich and powerful, yet remains small and fast.
Early versions used an idiosyncratic format for mail folders; later versions offer the standard Unix mail folder format as an alternative to the historical Pegasus Mail format.
Pegasus mail supports the POP3, IMAP and SMTP protocols. The newest version has added support for filtering of spam with header and body checking for key phrases.
