• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Hi,

I follow How to create an email account in Plesk to create email via command line, but I can't login the email account.

Environment:
Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.27 Update #1
Windows 2016 Standard

How to duplicate:
  1. fresh install a Plesk
  2. plesk bin customer --create test.com -name test.com -passwd "abc1234@XYZ"
  3. plesk bin subscription --create test.com -owner test.com -service-plan "Default Domain" -login test -passwd "abc1234@XYZ" -ip 1.2.3.4
  4. plesk bin mail --create [email protected] -passwd "abc1234@XYZ"
  5. Unable to login mewebmail or horde
  6. Open MailEnable MMC, you will see the "Mailbox is disabled"

  7. Even uncheck "Mailbox is disabled", it is not working.
  8. You have to uncheck "Mailbox is disabled" and also assign the Password again, then everything works fine.
 
Hello,
To create the mail name with enabled mailbox the corresponding option has to be specified:
Code:
plesk bin mail --create [email protected] -passwd "abc1234@XYZ" -mailbox true
Thank you for pointing this out! The article would be updated.
