Snail mail is dead; long live e-mail! Electronic mail is supposed to be the quicker, easier way to send and receive messages. But if you have more than one e-mail account, collecting your messages can be a tedious if not downright disastrous task.

Wouldn't it be nice to log on once and retrieve all your e-mail from a single interface? Fortunately, with the freeware Pegasus Mail application, you can.

Enter Pegasus Mail

Pegasus Mail boasts all the standard features you'd expect to find in a good e-mail program: Other than checking and sending e-mail, you can drag and drop addresses into a message, create address books, and manage rules for filtering mail.

But what sets Pegasus Mail apart from other free e-mail clients is its features: Pegasus can check multiple e-mail accounts through a single interface, and it can connect to both POP- and IMAP-based mail servers, the two most common types for both business and home. (The latest versions of these protocols are POP3 and IMAP4.) And best of all, Pegasus doesn't force you to choose between reduced features and advertising; you get the full functionality with no ads. We'll show you how to set up the program and how to customize some of its key features.
