Control on/off of auto-reply not only by date, but also by time
We would appreciate it if the setting of the time were included in addition to the days for the «automatic replies» by e-mail. For part-time employees, this attitude would be a real asset.

Increase mailbox size above the default size
Default Mailbox size is for example 5 GB per Mailbox. But on one Box, the client need more space. So it would be great, if all accounts stay on the standard Size. All mail addresses keep the default size, but one can increase the storage space. Currently, only the reverse is possible, but this makes little sense, as I don't want to adjust all the addresses individually, but only increase the one that has a compulsory requirement.

Let's encrypt staging backend for tests
I am trying to develop a bash script that will create a domain and letsencrypt certificate on my UNIX server, but I've run into a limit from lets-encrypt.
Looking at https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/ it talks about using a staging server for development purposes. Is it possible to add this option to letsencrypt extension?
Someting like:
plesk bin extension --exec letsencrypt cli.php -d ..com -m admin@***.com --test
Or changing the Let's encrypt URL via panel.ini
1 voteThis feature is already available in the Let's Encrypt extension.
To configure different ACME URL (e.g. a staging environment for testing purposes), need to configure "acme-directory-url=https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory" option for the section "[ext-letsencrypt]" in the panel.ini file.

Allow migrations of accounts between servers that share an external Smartermail server
As above.
Currently, it just fails as it tries to create the mail account on the receiving server which already exists on the mail server.
At the least, you could allow migrations to exclude the entire mail domain and then make an account import tool to bring them into the receiving server.

Inform about Plesk updates via mail (like about system updates)
It's already possible to get an email when system updates are available. But it would be even better if I got an email when updates for Plesk are available. I do not have automatic updates enabled, neither for the system nor for Plesk, because that's too risky in my opinion. I would install the updates manually when I would get an email. Of course I do this already, but I try from time to time whether there is an update available.

New option for service_plan_addon (utility): increase disk_space_soft
There is a serviceplanaddon utility to automate the creation of service plan addons. Unfortunately this utility has no option to increase the parameter diskspacesoft. It would be very helpful to increase the warning limit when increasing disk_space and quota...
Scenario: I have a service plan with 5GB disk space and a warning limit of 4GB (send an email notification when 4 GB are exceeded).
The disk space of a hosting is e.g. 4.5 GB and an email notification is sent. Now I assign a service plan addon giving additional 5 GB. The service plan…1 voteUnfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.

Mail Autoresponder, receive only a single message during the specific date indicated in the "switch off auto-reply on"
Add a new field/option that allow to send an automatic response to a unique email address no more than 1 time until the end of the indicated period in the "switch off auto-reply on" (and not for the single day as now).
Feature useful when an "out of office" user receives different messages from the same person, without having to receive/send the same warning message everyday.
For example: If John emails you during the date indicate in the "switch off auto-reply on", John will receive an "out of office" message only one time, no matter how many…

Make a default installation for open xchange usable in plesk
Open xchange is a great alternative server to ms exchange.
Implementing this into a plesk managed server is possible, plesk has a apk for ox. But a working ox installation is a must to get it working - and a default ox installation into a plesk managed server is not easy at all.
So please integrate an option to install and configure ox like done by horde.
OX is graet in working with iOS, ms outlook or any standard mail client, handling calendar and contacts too!1 voteUnfortunately, due to nature and complexity of Open-Xchange, it’s not possible to achieve the level of integration smoothness similar to Horde (note that Horde is a local webmail, while OX is a remote mail server).

To make it easier to configure DKIM, SPF, and DMARC Protection are automate the process
The guidelines about how to enable DKIM, SPF, and DMARC Protection are difficult to read and understand how to implement. It would be easier to automate this process. Especially because those are very important for mail and web safety.
2 votesWhen you add a domain in Plesk and Plesk is also the nameserver for your domain, DKIM, DMARC and SPF records are automatically added to the DNS configuration. If you do not have DKIM enabled by default but add it later, the record is added to DNS, too. There is no need for manual configuration when you use Plesk for DNS.

SPF options for customer domain
Allow the customer to define his SPF settings for his domain using a interface like it exists for the admin onTools & Settings > Mail Server Settings (in the Mail group).
Having it on Websites & Domains > Mail Settings it would be much easier to get customers configured it correctly instead of adding a TXT entry on the nameservers

Restore Keywords in autoresponders
Previously I could specify a keyword in the incoming mail that triggered the Autoresponders. That keyword was setup in a formmail so that spammers didn't get the reply (and I didn't receive all the bounces for spam senders)
3 votesThank you very much for the usecase explained. Unfortunately this usecase is very rare and unique – we haven’t seen another request for it since 2010 when keywords were dropped.
I can suggest to recode your web form to direct sending of mail (as in step #3). Alternatively you can wait for Plesk 12.0 which will have Dovecot support and sieve server-side rules, via which you can flexibly configure any desired behaviour. Roundcube webmail should have a plugin for managing them,

should realize the capability to print the configuration for documentation

Define maximum number of saved backups in Service Plan
As an administrator you currently can define the maximum number of full backups to store. This maximum number applies to all backups, stored locally or remote.
This is a feature request for:a) defining a separate maximum for locally stored backups and a separate maximum for remotely stored backups. b) as well defining those maximum numbers in service plans.
The option to define the maximum number of stored backups in a service plan would allow administrators to fulfill backup needs on a per customer basis. And even sell additional backups to customers who might have a need for much longer backup retention.
Defining a separate maximum value for local and…

Allow hosting email directly on Google when using Google Workspace extension
Currently, Plesk sets DNS records for mail to mail.<domain> pointing to the Plesk server and creates accounts in Google Workspace as well as accounts locally which are then relayed to Google Workspace, so emails go through the Plesk server and become unavailable if Plesk is down even though they are hosted on Google
Please add possibility to set the mail records to point directly to Google
