    Autodiscover for iOS and Android has been available for a long while. Please see https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015529259 for details. It can be turned on in "E-Mail Settings" of a domain. Please see https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009747280 for more on that. 

    When autodiscover is switched on, the (i) icon in the rightmost column of the mailbox list includes additional assistance for mail configuration on different operating systems and applications, such as a QR code for iOS devices.

    Please let us know in the comments if you are missing anything from these functions.

  7. Add compression settings for domain output

    I want to see domain level setting that allows output from server to be compressed before being sent to the client over the network.

    Now Plesk does not setup nginx/apache/iis to compress output.

    Over several years this request has only received a few votes. Also, in Roundcube it is possible to create an auto-reply using "Filters", so there is basically an option to create auto-replies from Roundcube.

    Roundcube is a separate 3rd party product that is not maintained by and cannot be extended by Plesk. Roundcube extensions can be purchased by server admininistrators seperately and are not sold by Plesk either.

    Instead, a flexible auto-reply function is already available in Plesk mail configuration. For that reason we close this request.

  10. Nginx installation with optimized parameters(or as an option), e.g. microcaching.

    Nginx and Backend installation with optimized parameters(or as an option), e.g. microcaching. One has to change Plesk template files to bring NGINX to appropriate RPS. Some cache service as a part of Plesk package would be a great addition, as Plesk is Web-Server oriented. Thanks for the great product!!

  11. Faster Interface

    I'm totally a plesk fan. But there's only one thing wich I like more at cpanel than plesk. cPanels admin interface is faster. When I add a domain it instantly adds it, without showing a loading animation on the button and redirecting me after ~5 seconds. What If plesk redirects you isntantly, but processes in the background? That will give the user a faster feeling.

    Regarding Plesk interface speed I would like to recommend you to compare speed on old Plesk versions and 17.8 where php7 is used instead of php5, for example:

    1. plesk version
      Product version: Plesk Onyx 17.5.3 Update #42
    2. /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php -v
      PHP 5.6.30 (cli) (built: Sep 12 2017 11:11:16)
    1. plesk version
      Product version: Plesk Onyx 17.8.10
    2. /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php -v
      PHP 7.1.14 (cli) (built: Feb 9 2018 14:36:24) ( NTS )

    The speed of Plesk interface was dramatically increased in latest Plesk version.

  12. Create a REST API for panel operations

    This is very important to allow real Plesk integration with third party solutions.

  13. Add TRIGGER privilege management for database users

    Some of our customers are asking for a way to define triggers on their MySQL/MariaDB databases. Plesk does not grant the TRIGGER privilege on database users it creates.

    Modifying the GRANTs for those users created by Plesk is not a viable workaround, because the permissions get reset if the user is later modified at all via Plesk.

    The only known workaround is to create and manage a separate database user outside of Plesk, which is obviously contrary to the purpose of having Plesk on a server in the first place.

    Please consider adding TRIGGER privilege management to Plesk, or else…

    This feature request has been reviewed. The "trigger" privilege is included in the user privileges section. The necessary privilege can be selected in the "Structure Access" section of each database user (please see attached screenshot). In the review we have verified that the trigger privilege is fully operational by using the examples from the official MariaDB https://mariadb.com/kb/en/trigger-overview/ documentation, section "Creating a Trigger". This was possible to do with a normal database user that has the "Trigger" privilege checked in the "Structure Access" section in the database user configuration page of Plesk.

  14. Support to PostgreSQL 12.x with the Plesk obsidian.

    Hello Dev team,

    I would like to suggest to provide the support also for PostgreSQL 12.x for Linux.

    Since we already provide the 10x would be great if we could officially also provide the 12x https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/obsidian/update-notes/

  15. Allow the possibility to use a custom Hostname for Mail Auto Discovery

    Allow the possibility to use a custom Hostname for Mail Auto Discovery.

    For example:
    Having a desginated ServerName for the Mail server requests and use the Auto Discovery to configure the Domains using that ServerName instead of using the Domain name.

  16. Add important ERP & CRM Apps

    Softaculous became popular, because it offers huge range of apps installation. One great feature in Plesk is to expand the range of important apps available for installtion.
    Adding important ERP and CRM Apps, such as ERPNext, Dolibarr, OpenTaps, CiviCRM, and Odoo would be useful for Plesk market share and for customers.
    Plesk's market share will increase when using such a strategy.
    Why not allow more powerful apps for ERP or CRM in Plesk?

    Since several years Roundcube on Plesk is independent from operating system vendor PHP versions and is using a tested, rather up-to-date PHP version provided by Plesk. There is no reason to put the burden of selecting and maintaining an additional PHP configuration for roundcube on users as Plesk is having an eye on it for you. Since the initial cause for this feature request has been solved, we are closing this process.
