Text of the page (random words):
d to microsoft windows which is now the only platform actively supported previously freeware pegasus mail is now donationware the early versions of pegasus were installed on ms dos or mac workstations on a netware network and supported only mail between network users for external internet the mercury mail transport system for netware was required 4 contents 1 features 1 1 supported protocols 1 2 criticism of features 2 advanced features 3 development status 3 1 wiki 3 2 linux 4 see also 5 further reading 6 notes and references 7 external links features edit pegasus mail pmail is suitable for single or multiple users on stand alone computers and for internal and internet mail on local area networks pegasus mail has minimal system requirements compared with competing products for instance the installed program excluding mailboxes for version 4 52 requires only around 13 5 mb of hard drive space since pegasus mail does not make changes to the windows registry or the system directory it is suitable as a portable application for usb drives it is available in german as well as english in the past language packs were available for french and italian a significant feature of the microsoft windows version of pegasus mail is that users have the choice not to use microsoft internet explorer s html layout engine when displaying html email malicious html tends to be highly dependent on the exact target application and os therefore by avoiding both the ubiquitous html renderer supplied with windows and not allowing automation commands such as activex and javascript to execute from within an email in its inbuilt renderer pegasus reduces substantially the risk of infection from viewing email note that this is not the same as the risk of malicious email or email attachments if opened outside pegasus pegasus has the facility not provided by all mail clients optionally to download headers only allowing the user to select mail to ignore for now and deal with later download and delete from the server normal mail operation for pop3 access download a copy of a message while leaving it on the server or delete without downloading mail may be marked by the user as read or unread overriding the default setting supported protocols edit the original version worked with novell netware networks and their message handling system mhs mail system a cut down mhs only version called firstmail was bundled with netware early versions used only a non standard format for mail folders later versions offer the standard unix mailbox format as an alternative to the pegasus mail format although no longer developed or supported older versions for ms dos and apple macintosh are still available a problem with early versions is that mail was stored on the netware system volume this was not a problem when messages were brief text files later it was possible although rather complicated to store received mail on another volume but new mail had to remain on system this caused problems with netware servers with a small system volume and larger ones for data storage as users often kept many large messages in their new mail folders pegasus mail supports the pop3 imap and smtp protocols as well as novell s mhs release 4 41 added support for filtering of spam with header and body checking for key phrases already before download release 4 41 also has amongst other features an improved html rendering engine better support for special character encoding especially with utf 8 phishing protection and a full fledged bayesian spam filter pegasus mail for windows can be used as a standalone mail client using pop3 or imap for incoming mail and smtp for outgoing or on a netware or windows network in conjunction with the mercury mail transport system for windows or netware also by david harris running on a network server to receive mail and distribute it to users while pegasus mail and mercury handle email only the function of pegasus mail is comparable to microsoft outlook s mail handling and mercury to microsoft exchange server criticism of features edit pegasus mail pioneered many features now taken for granted with other email clients such as filtering and simultaneous access to multiple pop3 and imap 4 accounts 5 however the free distribution of microsoft outlook express or later email client as a standard part of microsoft windows since windows 98 and the distribution of microsoft outlook initially free of charge with pc magazines and then as an integral part of microsoft office from 1997 dealt a significant blow to the market share of pegasus mail for windows and other email clients from which many never fully recovered also with the widespread distribution of microsoft outlook user expectations of the range of features a program incorporating an email client should offer outlook s email newsgroups calendar etc eventually as part of an integrated suite did not fulfil new users expectations regardless of the features of the email client proper citation needed trends in interface design also changed over the years and pegasus mail did not follow those changes still having essentially the same user interface it had in its first windows version with very few later additions such as the preview window mode 5 pegasus was initially a text mode application for networks handling both internal and internet mail often operating in conjunction with the mercury mail transport pegasus mail for stand alone machines was initially developed at a time when the typical email user had to be somewhat more knowledgeable of the way computers the internet and particularly email operate than most of today s users have to be as pcs and the internet have become more widespread reached a broader audience and adapted themselves to those new users needs at the time pegasus mail was first conceived its extensive array of features coupled with a simple user interface provided an ideal mix for most users needs as years went by it was seen as departing from the de facto standard and lacking features expected by the typical user advanced features edit pegasus mail s takes an old fashioned approach with advantages for knowledgeable users with complex email usage patterns or who need special features some examples include 5 support for three encoding standards mime uuencoding and binhex a powerful filtering system so much so that it is possible to run a fully automated client based electronic mailing list including processing subscribe and unsubscribe requests and forwards to moderation using solely pegasus mail the ability to automatically select which email address to send a reply from based on the mail folder containing the original received message the ability to include custom e mail header lines useful for tracking emails for example the ability to delete attachments without deleting the message s text body or to delete the html version of a message while keeping the plain text version or vice versa saving disk space easy access to a message including all headers in raw form which is difficult or impossible in some other clients a tree view of the structure of a multipart message with all its sections and attachments giving access to view or save any of the parts separately support for downloading headers only then deciding for each message whether to download delete or leave for later selective mail download it is possible to download a message in full without deleting it from the server the drop in usage and funding slowed development and features that were initially to be included in version 4 were not implemented some of these features are scheduled for inclusion in version 5 citation needed development status edit the development of versions for dos ms dos and pc dos 5 0 and higher 6 apple macintosh and 16 bit windows windows 3 1 and higher 7 stopped in or before 2000 the latest released versions for dos 3 50 released in or around june 1999 8 and 16 bit windows 3 12b released on 24 november 1999 are available for download version 3 12c for 16 bit windows was in beta testing during 2000 but has not been released 9 the mac version 2 21 from 1997 can be found on some ftp servers that in the past offered an official pegasus mirror service 10 until 2006 all versions of pegasus mail were supplied free of charge and printed user manuals were available for purchase in january 2007 it was announced that distribution and development of pegasus mail had ceased due to inadequate financial support from the sale of the manuals later in the month due to an avalanche of support from the user community it was announced that development would resume however pegasus mail would change from freeware to donationware and mercury would change to a licence for fee for configurations with more than a certain number of email boxes a donation button was added to the website on 1 march 2007 a public beta test version of version 4 5 11 was announced on 3 october 2008 which is stated to be very complete and stable but is provided without formal technical support you should almost certainly apply due diligence testing to it before using it in a production environment 12 the new version has not only been developed further beyond earlier versions but has been ported from now obsolete v5 02 of borland c to microsoft visual studio 2008 a major undertaking in itself a list of changes and other information is linked from here 11 on 19 june 2009 harris announced on the pegasus mail site that all development of pegasus mail and the associated mercury program could only continue if sufficient users would commit to donating us 50 annually on 21 july 2009 he said that there had been a good start on 3 july 2009 pegasus mail 4 51 13 and mercury 32 v4 72 were released on 23 january 2010 pegasus mail 4 52 was released which included improvements for windows 7 13 on 2 november 2010 harris posted the following message regarding the progress of development on the newest release of pegasus mail pmail version 5 0 progress continues on the new contacts manager for pegasus mail version 5 the new contact manager uses an sql based back end for storage and offers an incredibly rich range of attributes and options it will exist alongside the now ageing pegasus mail address book format and while existing address books will continue to work there will also be options to import their contents into the new contact manager database the new code has been designed heavily with external synchronization in mind but at least initially we will not be including any built in synchronization clients there is an extensive api that other developers can use to perform synchronization down to the attribute level though and as real world usage solidifies after release we will evaluate what synchronization clients might be most appropriate to provide as standard options we hope to release an initial version of pegasus mail version 5 with the new contact manager in place either late in december this year or early in 2011 a subsequent version with the entirely new message store i have been working on for over a year will follow at a later stage i m personally very excited about the new contact manager i believe it could have an enormous impact on the way many people work in a world of e mail overload on 23 february 2011 pegasus mail 4 61 was released it includes a new html renderer which uses the built in windows renderer of internet explorer but the bearhtml renderer has also been improved and can be used instead v 4 61 included new graphics and an updated interface v4 62 had improvements to the editor and elsewhere 14 on 22 december 2011 bug fix version 4 63 became available 14 on 8 march 2014 version 4 70 was released this version includes hunspell for spelling check and openssl for encryption besides further improvements v4 71 was released in january 2016 version 4 72 was released in april 2016 15 on 7 june 2018 version 4 73 was released 15 this includes a much improved help file on 25 december 2019 harris said that while there has been a delay due to health issues he can only promise you that there is progress and that he is totally committed to getting these new versions released and he is working among others on support for oauth2 and openssl v 1 1 1 16 on 14 february 2022 a new version 4 80 was released there were several overall improvements some are openssl was updated to version 1 1 1k new support for 120dpi screens and an optimization for the html editor for better rendering the anticipated support for oauth2 was delayed into later this year 17 wiki edit since february 2009 pegasus mail has had its own wiki used as an on line knowledge resource the wiki has crashed around 2014 and has not been restored since but parts of it have been archived by the internet archive there is also a community driven forum which could help solve problems and knowledge resource 18 linux
