Preset "webmail" and other checkboxes upon SSL certificate creation or reissuing as "checked"
Please provide a possibility to secure webmail automatically if webmail.example.com exists in Plesk.
This can be done by auto-selecting "Secure webmail on this domain" during a certificate creation for example.com.
As it currently stands, end users get confused by the feature.
The more Plesk can simplify this process for end-users, the less support will be required for my customers.

Better email notifications management through CLI
Improve the email notifications management through CLI using the "plesk bin notification" command.
As of now, there are plenty of notifications that can be easily managed in Plesk GUI while it is not possible through that command making it quite hard to manage as the ones that can not be managed through the command itself, need to be modified directly on the Plesk database while in Plesk GUI all (or almost) the notifications are unified under Tools & Settings > Notifications

Change (or add option to select) value that is used for the customer’s account root
Currently, when a subscription is created and the customer adds new domains, the following physical structure is created on a server:
C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new.domain
where primary.domain is the primary domain of the subscription and new.domain is another domain, created by the customer.
Sometimes, in this scenario, a number of new domains created by the customer might be quite big, so physical structure becomes something like this:
C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new.domain
C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new1.domain
...
C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new199.domain
C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new200.domain
In these circumstances, when the primary domain's name is changed, for example:
primary.domain changed to newprimary.domain so physical structure is changed to C:\vhosts\newprimary.domain*
There is a lot of data that has to be updated in Plesk database and IIS (new locations have to be applied to every domain, every user etc). This process takes some noticeable amount of time depending on the number of domains. This might be especially important when changes are made through API, since response time is quite long.
Here is the following suggestion on the improvement:
A customer sets up an account with a primary domain primary.domain, and a “account root” id of “x31430a42” is associated to the account [the x is purely to ensure that this value does not start with a number]
a. “C:\vhosts\x31430a42\primary.domain is created
b. The IIS website “primary.domain” is created and configured to point to C:\vhosts\x31430a42\primary.domain\
2) A second domain is created called “new.domain”
a. “C:\vhosts\x31430a42\new.domain is created
b. The IIS website “new.domain” is created and configured to point to C:\vhosts\x31430a42\httpdocs
3) Repeat step 2 200 more times
a. Each folder path is created, and IIS sites are created and pointed to the relevant folder
4) Change the primary domain to “newprimary.domain”
a. Impact 1: only the impacted site “mydomain.com” gets change from C:\vhosts\x31430a42\primary.domain to C:\vhosts\x31430a42\newprimary.domain
b. Impact 2: the only update to IIS would be to update the primary.domain site to reflect the change to newprimary.domain (updated settings to reflect the new name and new file path)
This will reduce the amount of data to-be-updated and increase process efficiency.
Currently, when a subscription is created and the customer adds new domains, the following physical structure is created on a server:
C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new.domain
where primary.domain is the primary domain of the subscription and new.domain is another domain, created by the customer.

Obsidian Scheduled Tasks update has less functionlity due to cron style Version 18.0.25 Update #2
Version 18.0.25 Update #2 Windows
New Cron style schedule tasks. This was such a poorly thought out feature to implement and as such a bad one.
It's great that Plesk want's to standardise the control panel between platforms but now in the case of Windows servers the experience is worse than before. Previously there were checkboxes that you could tick, so if you wanted a task to execute every 5 minutes then you could just ticket the appropriate boxes.
Now in attempt to bring cron style to Windows without the / character this has become really laborious having to enter 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * *. There should have been compensation for the / character in Windows and Plesk should have translated this behind the scenes instead of the user. Plesk on Windows should detect the / character, work out the increments, produce a comma separated list and use that, the user should be unaware of this.
So it's cron but not cron and as such Windows servers have a feature that's worse than and not as good as it was before.
So for Plesk for Windows either make it so that it's real cron style without the laborious workaround or bring back the old tick boxes, no half measures, it either is or it isn't

"Add another" button when adding mail
It happened to me a few times that I had to create a bunch of mails, over 100 mail accounts. I'd be really nice to have an "add another" button on the bottom, which saves the new account, but reloads the page so you can add another. A minor feature, but think it could make someone's life easier.
Cheers.

Ability to use admin credentials for Migration Manager
Using root password is not secure. Using SSH key is not comfortable.
Destination Plesk should connect to the Source Plesk with admin credentials and send a temporary SSH key to the Source server. This key can be than deleted after migration. Or for more security admin of Source server can generate a one time password only for migration.

Plesk admin should have control over all possible notifications sent by Plesk
Plesk admin should have control over all possible mail notifications sent by Plesk. For example, Plesk admin should be able to enable/disable notifications which inform that Plesk failed to generate web server configuration files. Some Plesk owners may already have checks and notification mechanisms in place for Nginx/Apache, as well as several other services.

Stop sending the user back to the root path in file manager after clicking on refresh
In the file manager, when I press the refresh button of my browser, plesk changes the path to the root path of domain rather than refreshing the actual folder path.
For example:
I have a domain called tomydna
It is a wordpress installation
So, sometimes, I want to go to wp-content/cache/ to see if cache files and folders are created. Sometimes, I must click on refresh button to see if the server just created new files or new folders.
Unfortunately, when I press the refresh button of my browser there is an unexpected behavior, Plesk sends me back to the root path of the domain.EXAMPLE
So, let's imagine, I was in tomydna/wp-content/cache, then, I press the refresh button of my browser, and booom, plesk send me back to tomydna/
So, after pressing the refresh button, i must once again click on wp-content and then click on cache to enter the folder named "cache". If I click the refresh button once again, i will have to click on "wp-content" and "cache".
It would be better if when I press the refresh button, plesk would stay in the actual folder.In the file manager, when I press the refresh button of my browser, plesk changes the path to the root path of domain rather than refreshing the actual folder path.
For example:
I have a domain called tomydna

Insert a link to access Plesk in notifications (E.G Domain creation, Subscription expired, etc...)

Enabling anonymous Git read access for a repository
A developer which has pushed his code to his git repository in plesk (through Local repository on your workstation funcion) is only accesible through authentication. That's OK.
The developer is ready to make his code publicly available.
Unfortunately that is not possible but it would be a nice feature to have.Maybe not to use the same private repository, but likely in a way to clone it and make it anonymous available only with read acces through http(s) , ex. https://<url>/example.git
