Pegasus Mail?

Pegasus Mail for Windows - Features
Pegasus Mail does all the basics of e-mail extremely well, and far more
than that... This list is by no means comprehensive - it concentrates on
the highlights.
* 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.
* Content control allows you to apply comprehensive rules to trap spam
and unwanted mail
* MailMerge allows you to create customized form letters to multiple
recipients
* Support for all major Internet mail-related protocols - SMTP, POP3,
IMAP4, LDAP, PH
* SSL Support on all protocols for secure mail access
* Distribution lists allow easy management of large mailing databases
* Support for multiple "identities" - easily-selectable groups of
preference settings
* Support for multiple users on the same machine as well as on
networks.
* Multiple folder formats and the ability to "mount" other users
mailboxes on your desktop
* Powerful message editor with full formatting capabilities
* Full support for the Internet MIME protocol, including digests and
alternative message types
* Comprehensive HTML mail generation, in a responsible form - no remote
images, scripts or other nasties, just a good range of tables, images and
the other formatting you need for real mail.
* Powerful, multiple addressbooks with aliasing ("nicknames") and full
user detail records
* Automatic listing of local users
* Complete support for Novell NetWare local area networks, in both NDS
and Bindery modes.
* Selective download allows you to preview a POP3 mailbox before
downloading it.
* Offline operation allows you to read and compose your mail while you
are not connected to the Internet.
* Many ease-of-use features, including easily-accessible lists of
recently-used addresses, directories and files, and address completion in
any address field.
* Message reader supports wrapping options to handle even the most
deviant messages
* Rich plugin interface allows third-party extensions and mail forms to
be developed
* Template interface allows you to design complex mail forms using a
simple text editor
* Spelling checker, with UK English and US English dictionary, and user
dictionary additions.
* Highlight signficant messages using your own colour schemes
* Sort your mail by date, size, sender, subject, colour or thread, in
ascending or descending order
* Grouped views allow you poweful extended views of the mail in your
folders, including presenting message threads based on their activity.
* View attachments directly from within the program
* Supports confirmation of reading and confirmation of delivery
requests
* Glossaries allow you to store commonly-used texts and expand them
with a single keystroke
* Automatic replies and automatic forwarding when interfaced with our
Mercury mail server
* Powerful encryption interface - the program has its own encryptor,
and by adding readily available plugins, can support encryptors such as
PGP.
* 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.
* Selectable and user-adjustable toolbars
* Incredibly rich preferences set allows you to control practically
every aspect of the program
* Rich options for reporting new mail while the program is minimized on
your desktop
* Automatic hyperlinking of URLs and e-mail addresses, even in non-HTML
messages
* Over 300KB of well-indexed, logically-arranged online help
* Drag and drop attachments from the desktop to Pegasus Mail
* Notepads give you an easily-accessible workspace for storing notes
and work in progress
* Circulation messages allow you to send a message or document to
successive people in order for comment and amendment.
* Full DDE interface
* Telephone message form for the office environment
* Support for multiple simultaneously accessible POP3 and IMAP
mailboxes.
* Powerful Select feature allows you to select messages based on
arbitrarily complex conditions
* ... and much more. The program is free - download it and see if it
has the features you need.
