Pegasus Mail is a mail program for PC/MS-DOS and Windows. It has been around since the early 1990s, and is still being developed. It is distributed free, but is not open-source. It is owned by its developer, David Harris, with no affiliation to any corporation or organization. A wide range of files are used for storing messages, message folders, configuration settings, address books, and other things. The files will usually be found beneath a root-level directory named PMAIL. One feature of Pegasus Mail is its ability to run on any compatible system without needing to install anything into its operating system or hard disk, so the program and data for Pegasus can be stored on a thumb drive or other movable unit and run on different PCs.

A program called "Rescom" is used to compile resource files for Pegasus; advanced users might need to use it to do things like set up embedded quote files.

Queued outgoing messages are stored in .pmx files which are in the Internet e-mail message format with a few extra Pegasus-specific headers.

The Mercury mail server was created by the same author/publisher.
