    Notes

    • Before updating, please make a backup of your database and files. No liability for data loss!
    • b1gMail 7.4.2 requires at least PHP 7.2.
    • New installation requires at least MySQL / MariaDB 5.5.3. MySQL 8.x and higher is currently not supported ( except MariaDB ). We recommend MariaDB as Database Engine.
    • After the update please delete your browser cache
    • b1gMail 7.4.2 also contains the PremiumAccount and Fax plugin.
    • If b1gMailServer is used, please restart the queue service after the update and make sure that the latest version is used.
    • If you want use the new features also on b1gMailServer, please upgrade your b1gMailServer to the OSS version: https://www.github.com/b1gMail/b1gMailServer
    • Plugins from ThinkClever GmbH are now Open Source, but not all plugins is compatible. Check here to check if the plugin is compatible with 7.4.2. If you use CleverMailEncryption, there is also a compatible version to 7.4.2 in the provided link.
    • If the b1gMail installation is still running in ISO character set / Latin mode, you are required to convert to UTF-8 format, otherwise you could get charset problems.
    • This version is shipped on the latest CKEditor4 version which reached its end-of-life in June 2023. There will no more any updates. If you want receive updates for CKEditor, you can use the commercial LTS version of CKEditor4 or upgrade to CKEditor 5. See https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5…ckeditor-4.html for migration guide.

    Limitations compared with the old commercial version

    • The toolbox is currently not available. License holders of the former commercial b1gMail version can still use the service, see below for more information. You find the source code at https://www.github.com/b1gMail/BMToolbox
    • Update notifications are not available
    • Fax plugin: Since the proprietary FPDI parser library is not allowed to be shipped in a GPL project, it was removed with the update of the FPDI class. This removes support for compressed PDF files. If one still needs this, a license must be purchased at https://www.setasign.com/products/fpdi-pdf-parser/pricing/. Alternatively, the last commercial version of the fax plugin can be used if a license was purchased at that time.

    Character sets

    Before converting, be sure to back up the database and files. No liability for data loss!

    ISO character set

    b1gMail 7.4.2 will not support the old ISO character set or latin1 anymore. You must convert to utf8 first.

    If you are using a version older than 7.4.0:

    Saving emails to database causes character set errors, so the file system variant is the safest. Therefore, before conversion, log into the admin area, go to "Settings" " "Mail" and make sure that mail storage is set to "File system". Even if this was already the case, then go to "Tools" " "Optimization" " "File System" and run the "Mail Storage" function (Database -> Files). This is necessary to make sure that there are no more emails in the database, since this storage method has been removed as of version 7.4.0-Beta1.

    When updating: After running setup/update.php do not delete the "setup" folder yet but run setup/utf8convert.php first. Allow some time for the conversion.

    UTF8MB4

    New installations always use UTF8MB4, because the old UTF-8 implementation of MySQL cannot store 4 byte character sets. When updating from an older b1gMail version: run setup/utf8mb4convert.php. You need a little time for the conversion.
