• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Forwarded to devs Courier to Dovecot migration does not keep subscribed folders

TITLE:
Courier to Dovecot migration does not keep subscibed folders
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Plesk 17.5.3, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When I migrate a domain from a Plesk server with Courier to a domain with Dovecot it does NOT keep the subscribed folders.

This is necessary for a transparent migration.

A client connected to the new mailserver will see all its mail disappear before its eyes. This can easily be solved later, but not the damage to his heart....​
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
migrate a domain from a Courier Plesk server to a Dovecot Plesk server​
ACTUAL RESULT:
All subscribed folders are gone​
EXPECTED RESULT:
Subscribed folders should be the same as on the source server​
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This is quite easy to implement during migration.
Dovecot keeps this information in the file 'subscriptions'
Courier keeps it in the file 'courierimapsubscribed'

sed '/^INBOX$/d;s/^INBOX//g' courierimapsubscribed >subscriptions
YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM:
Confirm bug
 
It's the "subscription flags" that are gone.
Not the mail folders.

It's a simple text file that just needs to be filled
 
Sorry for my misunderstanding and answering here instead of the pm. I hope to see it resolved soon...
