    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.

  3. Add email notifications for certain scenarios in the outgoing mail queue, e.g. "n mails waiting", "n mails processed in m minutes"

    It would be great to have the possibility to configure an alert/notification based on the Mail Queue.

    This way it would be possible to know if a certain amount of emails are being stuck in the queue.

    The alert should allow to chose a number of emails that should be in the queue before it sends a notification

  5. (De-)Activate mail service per domain ONLY

    Currently you can deactivate email per subscription in mail settings, or use the Plesk command-lint utility domain with the appropriate settings. It would be more convenient to have a checkbox under the domain settings, or under Mail with a domain selection box.

    Available since Plesk Obsidian RC3. Windows: modern version of MailEnable required (shipped with Plesk), Linux: modern versions of Postfix (shipped with Plesk) and Dovecot (shipped by most OS vendors) required.

    Please read the docs: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/customer-guide/websites-and-domains/securing-connections-with-ssltls-certificates/protecting-webmail-and-mail-with-ssltls-certificates.76531/

  7. Support incremental backup for mail content

    Nowadays, many users are using IMAP, maybe because is the default setting in many popular email clients (Mozilla Thunderbird, and I remember Mail on Windows 8.1 didn't support POP3 at all).

    Mail content usually grow but previously stored messages doesn't change often. In Maildir format, used by Plesk, qmail and Postfix, when an user got new mails, new files with unique name are added on disk, and only some files are changed (basically, only courier-imap and dovecot caches and indexes, perhaps easy to rebuild from scratch).

    So, please, support incremental backup for mail content too

    This feature was implemented a very long time ago, but we missed updating the feature request entry accordingly. Please excuse the delay. The reason that it was missed was probably that back then a huge number of users were still using the mbox mail storage format. There it was not possible to get a delta of mails.


    In Plesk Obsidian an incremental backup includes mail data changed since the time of the last backup (full and incremental).

  8. Show reason of deferred message in mail queue

    Actually it's possible to show deferred messages headers in : Tools and settings > mail server settings > mail queue

    It would be very useful if it's possible to show the reason why the message is deffered or stuck in the queue (/var/spool/postfix/defer).

    We are happy to announce that the ability to Track Email Delivery is now available in Log Browser 1.8.0. In the new version, Plesk customers (as well as Plesk administrators) can track email delivery and manage deferred emails right in the domain card (under the "Mail" tab). If an email has been deferred, the reason also be shown.

    You can find additional information at https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/obsidian/change-log/#log-browser-1.8.0.

    If you have any feedback on the implementation of this feature, please let us know on the forum: https://talk.plesk.com/threads/your-experience-with-mail-delivery-troubleshooting-in-plesk.373062/

  9. Mailpile support (secure mail server option)

    In light of the Snowden fallout, I hope that Plesk will add support for Mailpile (http://www.mailpile.is) or something similar for secure e-mail.

    Thank you for your input!

    Mailpile is meant to be a local e-mail client which is installed to the personal computer (https://www.mailpile.is/faq/#wha) and secure your mail by fetching it from server, deleting from server and securely storing on local disk. It is not considered as webmail client which is installed on the server. It works with mail server over standard protocols (SMTP, POP3, IMAP) which are supported by Plesk, so you may install use it without any limitations.
    Though, as it has the web interface and written on Python, it may be installed to a web server, but it’s not recommended for security and privacy reasons.

    Unfortunately, we have no plans to integrate it with Plesk panel.

  10. Disable mail service simplified

    There is actually no way to create "real" "Web service only" subscription. If the subscription plan is set without any mailbox the mailservice is enable on that subscription BUT not accessible in the panel. It's necessary to change the subscription settings to access the disable button or in command line by :
    /usr/local/psa/bin/subscription --update domaine.com -mail
    service false
    Without disabling mail_service the web service will not be able to send email to subscription's domain external hosted mail address.

    It would be great to be able to set a plan of "web only" subscription to host…

  11. Make default Plesk Firewall rules more strict

    Right now "System policy for outgoing traffic" rule is set to allow all outgoing traffic as default which is not secure enough.

    Please consider to make default firewall rules for outgoing traffic more secure and allow only Plesk services to send outgoing packets

  13. Support server-side e-mail rules

    Most e-mail clients support configuring rules to automatically perform actions on incoming messages based on certain criteria. You could for instance have a rule that automatically moves a message into a folder based on the address of the sender, a rule that automatically deletes a message if it contains certain words in the subject, etc. Since most people are using multiple e-mail clients it's impractical to configure your rules in all of the clients you use (webmail, phone, desktop, etc.), so it would be great if Plesk allowed these rules to be configured server-side.

  14. Outbound mail limit alerts in Abuse Reporting Format

    Limiting of outbound email is now possible. I would like to have the reports/alerts about exceeding the limits be in "Abuse Reporting Format". This makes it possible to process these messages automatically by a abuse management system.

  16. Show mail traffic statistics when using SmarterMail

    When installing Plesk with SmarterMail, the mailbox usage stats are calculated, however, the mail traffic usage stats (IMAP/POP3 + SMTP) are not calculated.

    It would be really useful that Plesk would calculate mail traffic usage for when SmarterMail is being used, otherwise, we cannot monitor the traffic usage made by our customers nor limit it.

  17. add advanced footer controling of outgoing emails

    It would be really fine to have the possibility to add a signature to email accounts (this idea was posted before and i even voted for this).

    But what would be even more fine is the possibility of giving an advanced controling:

    1. signature at server-level | eg: "message was tested against spam by xyz-freemail.com"
    2. signature at domain-level (*@sld.tld) | eg: company xyz, street
    3. signature at user-level (user@sld.tld) | eg: regards mr. abc

    Every "snippet" should be added from level | in this example:

    "regards
    mr. abc

    company xyz
    street

    message was tested against spam by…

  18. Allow creating separate E-Mail Adresses for Domain Aliases

    I would like to be able to create own e-mail addresses for Domain Aliases. Let's say i have example.com as domain and add example.net as alias, now i would like to create e-mail adresses for example.net (alias domain) only which are NOT available on example.com and vice versa.

  19. make SSL Certificates for mail services manageable from Plesk

    To change SSL certs for mail services one has to manually change at least three files: (depending on system e.g.)
    /etc/postfix/postfix_default.pem
    /usr/share/imapd.pem
    /usr/share/pop3d.pem

    This is very confusion and not very usable, esp. as there are already a number of SSL ways to set certificates in Plesk (per domain, per ID, for the panel, as std. for all domains, ...)

    This could be streamlined and a simple tickbox, like 'Set this certificate for mail services' would make the life of administrators much easier!
