Why is it a good thing that Pegasus Mail be made "hard to close"?

On the other hand, I've read posts in certain threads about settings that wouldn't stick, the alleged reason being that Pegasus was not closed "properly", the proper way being: click File | Exit. If Pegasus is made hard to close, the closing method just described is the only way to close it.

Interesting.  I must admit, I've made changes to Pegasus Mail in the past without exiting "properly" and so far they seem to stick.

It's just one of these inextinguishable myths that there's a difference: If Pegasus Mail doesn't store its settings properly on shutdown there is some irregularity like a silent (i.e. without error message) crash involved, otherwise it really doesn't matter how you close it.
