 It can be done but the effort required is way too tough if you are starting from scratch using some old XT/AT machine that can't run WinPmail..  If you are already using PMail with a POP3 account though you can use SSL Tunnelling to make the connection to GMail using the proper connection setup.

(a) -POP3-

  Server host name: pop.gmail.com
  User name: <your_user_name>@gmail.com
  Password: <your_password>
  Server TCP/IP port: 995
 

(b) - SMTP via SSL -

  Server host name: smtp.gmail.com
  Server TCP/IP port: 465
 

Personally I use PMail with Mercury/32 handling all the mail to the internet, including GMail with little or no difficulty.  It uses the same pmail.cfg file as WinPMail.

It is *possible* but would take a lot of work.  Pegasus Mail for DOS as its name suggests is a DOS application. It does not know about the Internet or especially accessing Winsock Internet services.  There are writeups about how to configure a DOS session to do old-fashioned dialup modem configurations using Slip & PPP (I hope you are familiar with these terms).

Otherwise Pegasus Mail for DOS has an external interface, its Gateway processing, where it writes outgoing files to be picked up by some other application. In this mode of operation some other application is responsible for receiving the mail message (from POP3) and converting it into a .CNM message file for Pegasus Mail, and secondly in this mode some application is responsible for transmitting the Pegasus Mail prepared message to its destination (via SMTP).

Before launching into this, consider that Pegasus Mail for DOS knows nothing about Html, so a good number of messages will not be renderable at all.
