What works
Uploading mail, testing sound with a wav file (Tools -> Options -> User Interface -> Reporting/logging -> New Mail Reporting -> Play a newmail alert sound)
What does not
In a draft, when pressing the send mail button on a draft or the close button, Pegasus crashes with the WINE error:
fixme:storage:StgCreateDocfile Transacted mode not implemented.
When sending, you don't actually lose your message; the next time you run Pegasus, its waiting in the que and all you have to do is press the 'send all queued mail' button for it to send.
There are various other crashes when closing windows with the [X] button (e.g. Folders Window)
Workarounds
What was not tested
I only tested sending mail; thus, I did not test receiving mail or any of the more specialized functions. I also did NOT use any Microsoft DLLs (as per previous reports, using DLLOVERRIDE can help fix things)

Additional Comments
Installer has some text cut off. As per http://kbase.pmail.gen.nz/viewfull.cfm?ObjectID=E1D7B847-576A-4BA3-BEE13F10C9FF1D02 To run, use "wine winpm-32.exe -Z 128". Internet Options will be greyed out on the first use; go Tools -> Options -> General Settings -> Advanced Settings and for "Load Internet Services (WSOCK32.DLL)" select Always or On Demand Only. Close and restart.

No I found a solution; it's not elegant, but useful.
I use the German version of Suse Linux 10.0. At the dialog
So if I want to exit PegasusMail, first I take the
After this prozess Pegasus is closed in the normal way and without problems.
Perhaps somebody has a better idea to take this more elegant. I'm only a beginner of Linux, so I try more than I know.

it must be called
...At the dialog for possibilites I use the possibility "start in Terminal".
(This is important, because this is the solution!)

Originally, Pegasus was also hanging when I sent mail. I changed Pegasus's options Tools, Options, Advanced Settings so that WSOCK32.dll is loaded always, and this fixed the crash on sending. Note that this is the opposite of the advice given for some of the earlier versions. I haven't added any native DLLs.

This behaviour is identical on two quite different sets of hardware; an 8-year-old desktop system with one AMD Athlon processor, and a new HP laptop with a dual-core AMD x64 processor. Therefore does not seem to be a 32-bit vs 64-bit issue. Same version of Pegasus works perfectly on both systems; desktop with Win2K and laptop with Vista.
