Set HELO/EHLO name in MailEnable on Windows at Plesk installation
A default Plesk install on Windows incorrectly sets the MailEnable hostname to servername.home which is invalid and will cause blacklisting of the Plesk server.
It must be assigned manually:
https://talk.plesk.com/threads/how-to-align-the-mail-servers-helo-ehlo-with-proper-dns-forward-and-reverse-values.368890/#post-924515
...which also may require creating a subscription on the server because the MailEnable settings requires the "sending notifications" email to be locally hosted.A proper hostname should be set at installation, or at minimum a notice shown to the Plesk admin that a manual setting change is necessary.

Add support for OpenID/SAML SSO platforms
Please provide a way to integrate custom SSO platforms with Plesk via OpenID/SAML protocols - the OneAll Social Login extension used to have this functionality, but it's currently deprecated and its replacement (Social Login extension) does not provide these options.

Add possibility to configure Plesk to relay all Plesk notification emails to another SMTP server that requires authentication
Currently, Plesk notification emails relayed to another mail server return "said: 550 Authentication is required for relay (in reply to MAIL FROM command)" errors.
A set of separate settings that allow you to configure Plesk to relay all Plesk notification emails to another SMTP server while using authentication would be very helpful for such setups.

Add a "Status" column in the Scheduled Tasks (Cron Jobs) list
The status of a task is currently indicated by a grey or green icon in the "Schedule" column.
It is typical for number of servers to have numerous tasks (let's say.... a bunch of them!)
Adding the availability to sort tasks by their status will be a great help.3 votesThank you for your idea. We understand that you would like to have the status icon in a separate column, making it possible to sort all jobs by their status "active" or "inactive".

Improve speed of Migration Manager re-sync process
Because there is a re-sync option, the overall speed of the initial data transfer with Plesk Migration Manager (PMM) doesn't matter that much (to us), however when re-syncing the speed of the process is super important because domain web and email services on the source server must be down/offline to prevent data inconsistencies. The re-sync process currently takes roughly 1 hour per 100 subscriptions.
Here's three ways the re-sync process could be improved to minimize web and email service downtime:
# 1. Fetch configuration data ONCE
PMM batches 5 subscriptions at a time, and prior to each batch of 5, it sits for 3-4 minutes saying "Fetch configuration data from Plesk servers"
Presumably it's grabbing info on the next 5 subscriptions.
PMM should fetch configuration data for all subscriptions in the queue at the start of the re-sync, as we don't have to block access to the server during that part of the process. Once it actually moves on to copying data from the subscriptions, we would then start the downtime portion.
# 2. Always keep 5 processes running
Currently PMM batches 5 subscriptions at a time, however as the data transfers for each subscription complete, it does not start additional subscription migrations to keep 5 going at all times. That means it can be sitting migrating a single subscription (ex: with larger databases or more emails) and nothing else happening, which wastes time.
If (1) above is implemented, then PMM could always keep 5 subscriptions migrating simultaneously, such that when one completes, another subscription migration begins.
Even if (1) above is not implemented, it could at least start Fetching configuration data for the next 5 subscriptions after the first subscription (in the prior group) finishes migrating. That way the 5 processing slots would look something like this after the first subscription finishes migrating:
- Subscription data copy
- Subscription data copy
- Subscription data copy
- Subscription data copy
- Fetch configuration data for next batch of 5
3. Allow admin to configure the number of subscriptions to migrate in each batch
Rather than a fixed value of 5, why not allow the admin to configure that. If, for example, the server has 16 cores, it would make sense to allow something like 12 simultaneous subscriptions to re-sync at once.
Or Plesk could monitor the server load and, if it's less than the number of cores on the server, automatically scale the number of simultaneous subscription migrations to match.
Implementing these options could result in reducing the total re-sync time by half or potentially more.

Include email directories in disk space viewer extension
As described in https://www.facebook.com/groups/plesk/posts/24753472967632807 the Disk Space Viewer extension only shows the usage of directories in a subscription's webserver file path, e.g. /var/www/vhosts/subscriptioname/. The display is misleading some users that have a lot of storage space occupied in their mailboxes. For that reason it would be good if the extension could also include the mailbox paths of a subscription.

Cloudflare DNS extension for Plesk: Add option to sync subdomain on separate subscription
If I add a subdomain as a subscription (so that it is isolated from other (sub)domains) then I can't sync those subdomains with CloudFlare using Plesk's Cloudflare DNS.
3 votesAccording to https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/ Cloudflare allows to do that only for the enterprise plan. At the moment, only very few users would benefit from a feature as most are on the Cloudflare free plan.
Nevertheless we will consider to implement the feature in a future update of the extension.
Please continue to vote for it if you believe that this is an important feature.

Support update of constants such as WP_PLUGIN_DIR in wp-config.php during Cloning / Copy Data / Smart Update.
Wordpress Toolkit does not support update of constants such as WPPLUGINDIR in wp-config.php during Cloning / Copy Data / Smart Update.
For example if wp-config.php file for example.com is configured with:
define( 'WPPLUGINDIR', '/var/www/vhosts/example.com/wp-content/plugins' );and example.com is cloned to staging.example.com the WPPLUGINDIR is not updated.
