History

The project started in year 2002.[2] There was a Lite and a Pro version, but these were combined into one version shortly afterwards.[3]

With the release of Version 6, B1G Software ended the free release of b1gMail.[4] In 2019, B1G Software discontinued b1gMail.[5] B1G Software announced that it would place b1gMail under an open license. This was completed in 2023.

b1gMail 6 had an experimental monitoring function in accordance with the German Telekommunikations-Überwachungsverordnung.[6] It was removed with the release of version 7.
