History

The core Runbox e-mail service consists of open source components and a web application developed by Runbox with funding from The Research Council of Norway.
In addition to its webmail service, Runbox offers IMAP, POP, and SMTP support as well as FTP and CalDAV with a focus on security and privacy. Runbox emphasizes the environmental sustainability of its operations, which is anchored in its ethical foundation.
Being located in Norway, Runbox attracted renewed attention in light of the surveillance debate of 2013 and subsequently experienced substantial growth.
