Pegasus mail is an email client application freeware program. A good feature of this program is that it doesn’t affect any system registry in the Operating System and can be used as a portable application program. Regardless of what type of email account you have, one of the features of Pegasus is that we can setup an email account in the program. This tutorial will teach you how to set up an email account with Pegasus.

To learn how to setup an email account, please follow the instructions below:

1. In this tutorial, we will assume that you have already an existing email account in your web hosting account. To setup an email account in Pegasus, click the Tools link.

2. Click Internet options.

3. The Internet Mail Options window will appear. To setup the new email account the easiest way, click the Start Setup Wizard button.

4. Click Next on the Pegasus Mail Internet Setup dialog box to confirm the setup.

5. Enter the new email address in the box.

6. Click Next.

7. We now have to enter the Incoming (POP3) server name. This is usually provided by your hosting mail provider. Usually, these server names are given by the hosting provider and in the format of mail.yourdomain.com.

8. Click Next.

9. In the User name box, enter the email username that was provided by the hosting provider.

10. Then enter the email password in the Password box.

11. Click Next.

12. A dialog box will appear that will remind you of possibly incorrect username. Usernames depend on what your hosting provider gave you; it can be the full email address or just the email prefix. Just make sure that you enter the correct so that Pegasus will work correctly. If the email address does not work, you can always go back and enter the username or just the prefix. Click OK.

13. Now we will have to enter the Outgoing (SMTP) mail server name. Since the Incoming (POP3) mail server name is typically the same as the Outgoing (SMTP) mail server, the server name is automatically filled out, so there’s no need to change it.

14. Click Next.

15. On the next window, you will be asked to choose how you want to connect to the internet. There are two choices: Connect via Dialup connection and Connect via Network connection. Choose one from the selection.

16. Click Next.

17. Click Finish to complete the setup wizard.

18. The email setup has been successfully configured but we have to configure some settings first. Click the Sending (SMTP) tab.

19. Select the email account that we have just setup then click Edit.

20. Click the Security tab.

21. Check the box next to Login to the SMTP server using a POP3 username/password. This will require authentication from your mail hosting account which means that we are letting Pegasus to login to the mail server so that we can access the emails thru Pegasus and we can send and receive emails by using it. Since most SMTP servers use the same username and password for POP3 incoming servers, we can select those settings by clicking on the Select button.

22. The POP3 mail download definitions window will appear. Highlight the POP3 definition we just created.

23. Then click Select.

24. The SMTP authentication setting has been set. Scroll down.

25. Click OK.

26. Scroll down again.

27. Click OK.

28. We have successfully created a new account in Pegasus. We can now use Pegasus to access our hosting email account and can now send and receive emails thru Pegasus.

29. This is the end of the demo. You now know how to create an email account in Pegasus.
