David, I have just about had enough of trying to sort out Pegasus Mail so I am going back to my "old" method of checking new emails with Mailwasher (also a New Zealand developed program) ,deleting any that are junk or too large etc. , and then open OE6 and download what is left. OE6 is much easier to use-probably what MS designed it to be. Ease of use won over rock solid security. Pegasus Mail looks like it could be good for serious emailers or newsletter writers, but just a bit too complicated for us mere mortals who just want to send emails easily. I keep Nortons right up to date so I hope all will OK.
