About b1gMail

A big thanks goes to b1gMail founder Patrick Schlangen. He released b1gMail as freeware back then and since version 6 it was commercial. With version 7.4.1 the license is changed to GPL and all proprietary components were removed.

Getting started

It is recommended to install the b1gMail developer copy on a local web server, e.g. standard Apache/PHP/MySQL on Linux or Wamp on Windows. Even better results on Windows can be achieved with a WSL setup.

In order to install a development environment, proceed as follows:

Clone the repository
Go to src/serverlib/ and copy config.default.inc.php to config.inc.php
Open the folder src in your web browser, e.g. http://localhost/b1gMail/src/
Follow the setup instructs, use the normal serial number of your b1gMail license

Staying up to date

When pulling new changes from the server, you will need to update your database structure in case it changed. In order to do so, log in to the ACP of your b1gMail development copy, go to "Tools" -> "Optimize" and chose "Check structure". Let the ACP fix any issues it found.

Contributing

You want to contribute to the b1gMail code? Great! In order to do so, it's probably the best idea to fork the b1gMail repository here and start creating your own commits. As soon as you feel the commit is mature and you would like to integrate it into the b1gMail code base, create a merge request to the master repository and we will review it.

Basic guidelines for commits

Adhere to the b1gMail coding style
If your commit requires database structure changes, include the updated database structure in the commit (you can export it using the tools/db_struct.php tool)
If your commit requires other DB changes (i.e. change values), include update code in the update script (it should be executed when updating to the next major version)
