The official bridge list is for bridges that bbctl can install and run directly without requiring the user to install the bridge manually. Only bridges that are meant for personal use and reach a certain standard of quality will be officially supported in bbctl. I don't think there are any such email bridges currently, and we currently don't have any plans to write one.

Postmoogle seems to be actively maintained and is probably of decent quality, but it doesn't seem to be meant for personal use.

Thanks for the sensible rationale, @tulir.
