  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

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...
