Creating mail for a sub-domain

Chris1

Regular Pleskian
Hello,

I recently found out that it is not possible to create email accounts in a "sub-domain" in Plesk and to do so the sub-domain has to be set up as a separate domain/subscription.

I've got two questions:

1.) When will this be fixed so that email accounts can be created under "sub-domains"?
2.) How can I move a sub-domain to its own domain/subscription account?
 
2) To have mail on subdomain, just rename subdomain into something else and create you "sub.domain.com" as a usual domain, connected to the same docroot folder. Then you will have mail (and every other domain functionality) available for it.
1) Might be never "fixed" as it does not seem broken. Subdomains are not counted in domain license limit and for that historical reason they don't have some of domain functions. Should subdomain be used as a true domain, the approach above will solve it completely.
