>> The site and/or migrator to bring sites into Plesk from other providers just doesn't work for me. The files are all in the wrong folders and in the wrong place, completely messing up the file structure and confusing the hell out of the Wordpress Toolkit.
What control panel is being used at the other provider? Can you give a little more information as far as what is happening with the directory structure after migration?
>> I'd also like to know how to import email accounts from Siteground (CPanel), maintaining email folders and without knowing the password of the email account. This is probably the second (after backups) thing stopping me from migrating fully from cpanel.
The Plesk migration tool should handle that. Additionally, if you knew the passwords - you could use IMAP Sync. Official imapsync migration tool ( release 1.836 )
>> As for the built in backups, it would be nice if I was able to back this up externally or to another Azure storage account. Keeping it on the same server is really not a good idea, and backing it up to the likes of Dropbox etc is completely out of the question due to data protection. Keeping it inside Azure is preferable because I don't get charged for ingress data transfer, whereas transferring data out of Azure (egress) is chargeable.
Blob storage maybe? Blob Storage | Microsoft Azure - You can mount it using a fuse driver called "blobfuse"
