Thanks for that link, and your testing work.
The results page is certainly up to date.
What went wrong re:

Not sure what you mean about out of date, I've both tested and listed the problems with Pegasus Mail.
[/quote]
What happened was that I searched on google - scanned the 1st page and picked up a general vibe that info was out of date and that there were problems.
5th on the list was Wine HQ - Pegasus Mail 4.41
The version number didn't impact (maybe cos it was my version) but either way..... this was going to be the info I was looking for.
To be fair, the page looked very good - professional - tests from 2007 to 2009 plus a warning "The test results you have selected are very old and may not represent the current state of Wine."
The reason I point this out, is that, one of googles 'results display' criteria, is clicks on a result ie to visit the page.
This means that pretty much everybody searching using "wine pegasus mail" will end up reading these old test results - because if they were reading the latest results, then that doc would be on the 1st google results page, and higher than the old results doc.
Which means that people are not realising that other test results exist.
They see PM has problems in Wine, and interest has waned - no more tests after 2009 (ah well, it was worth a try), and then bugger off
I honestly believe that you should contact winehq, and request that they modify the warning by inserting, ahead of it, something like "latest test results available here" with a link to the PM folder .
Here is the google search: "wine pegasus mail"
