What is the purpose of BIMI?
BIMI’s purpose is to strengthen brand identity, increase user trust, and reward authenticated senders by giving them visual recognition inside inboxes. It helps users quickly distinguish legitimate mail from impersonation attempts.
It was also designed to combat the rising problem of logo phishing or favicon attacks where attackers place lookalike logos in user profile photo areas to build false trust.
