After doing a number of searches and reviewing other reviews, I got down to this shortlist:
Blue Mail, My Mail, and K-9,
Along the way I also looked at, Mailbox, Netease Mail Master, MailDroid (free), Mailwise and Nine but eliminated these on various grounds from adverts, not handling POP3 or other configuration issues. Even My Mail I eliminated in the end because of the ads!
So this left Blue Mail and K-9 - both of which do the job and have the ability to use folders. Blue Mail was particularly easy to set up and was able to do most settings (POP & SMTP) with hardly any input from me, whereas K-9 wanted the full chapter and verse and took several attempts to get SMTP working.
K-9 has some spam trapping facility (not yet investigated) whereas Blue Mail has a rather neat way of being able to create task lists out of the incoming mail. Both can deal with more than one account but K-9 has an obvious way of using more than one identity. I suspect Blue Mail can too - but it is not currently obvious. OTOH Blue mail has easy setups for signatures and so on and is generally more user friendly.
At the moment I am running both together and at the end of the day I suspect it is a 'horses for courses' situation. If you want quick setup and use this only as secondary to your Pegasus mail elsewhere then go for Blue Mail. If you want something a bit more nuts and bolts, go for K-9 - at least until there is a Pegasus App!
Hope this helps someone else!

Ps. I may also look at Inbox by Gmail as a different slant on Gmail itself if the Gmail App starts to annoy me - but (a) that is not relevant here and (b) both of the above will also work with Gmail anyway. I just like things separate. Unsynced!
