For some systems Pegasus Mail crashes on startup when loading IERenderer. A workaround is to disable IERenderer. This enables BearHTML for HTML-mail.
To disable IERenderer go to ~/.wine/drive_c/PMAIL/Programs/ if installed at default locations. Rename the directory IERenderer to disable_IERenderer, and also rename the file IERenderer.fff to disable_IERenderer.fff.
Also create a directory C:\TEMP\ like mkdir -p ~/.wine/.drive_c/TEMP

The 7.15 has now resolved the issue. Scroll mouse wheel would work fine in windows and panels, but in some windows or panels,
Using the mouse to click on up/down arrows would do nothing, nor would trying to slide scroll bar.
So, 4.80 is working fine.

Not sure what exact work arounds you have tried. I use XFCE.
Removing IERender can be done in a couple ways.
1. in PMAIL/Programs directory is an unins000.exe that will uninstall most of the IERender by running it.
That will remove the IERender DLL and most files, but somethings leaves the IER directory and a HTML file.
2. You can manually remove/rename the IERender files and directory.
If IERender doesn't exist, the Pegasus will fall back to using the BEARHTML renderer for html message, but the 4.80 has a bug with BEARHTML in that it wants to have C:\TEMP directory with user having read/write access. Depending of setup in windows that causes issues. I've always had the directory, so don't know exactly what? Solution is to just create the directory in drive_c and that will fix issue. The other option is to also remove the BEARHTML.DLL file. Pegaus default editor is the TER/HTS DLL files and they had major updates with 4.80, so I've taken that route. Only found one minor issue with emails from Amazon that display a little distorted. The have a table inside table inside a table?? Find a missing tag is problem, so have script that will fix that. But it is just a minor cosmetic issue.
Have run into problems with Fedora 35's wine 7.12 that has issue with spinning icon, but winehq 7.13 and 7.14 both work fine, but there is a issue with scroll bar not working with mouse buttons in some causes. Scroll wheel works fine, but is a little slow, so use imwheel to speed up scrolling.
Hope that helps.
