How To Create email accounts in bulk

[robertk1]

I have a client wishing to create several thousand email accounts. He can furnish the email and password list in any format required, ie txt, xml, etc.

Is there a way to bulk create email accounts in Windows PLESK 8.1?

We do not need to import any existing emails, only to create the accounts for clients.

Thanks!

Hello! Do you want to migrate this accounts from existing mail servers or create new mail account (not existing on mail server where Plesk runs) in Plesk?

Thanks.

There is no official possibility to make such operation.

But you could use next workaround to solve this problem (if you do not have these mail accounts on mail server where Plesk runs).

Please read documentation, and then download and install Plesk Migration Manager
http://forum.swsoft.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40081

Create next file "backupcommand.xml" file (example)

<root>
<MailSrvProvider Provider="IMAP4" Address="127.0.0.1" Port="143"/>
<Accounts> 
	<Account Name="[email protected]" Pwd="userpass1"/>
	<Account Name="[email protected]" Pwd="userpass2"/>
	<Account Name="[email protected]" Pwd="userpass3"/> 
</Accounts>
</root>

as described in documentation(http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk7.6/Windows/PMM/060809.17/plesk-win-pmm-guide/25144.htm)

After that you should place it in "<PLESK_DIR>/PMM/Platforms/MailMsgMigrator/" directory.
Note. You should delete this file after migration or move it to another folder.


After this run the Plesk Control Panel and go to the "Migration manager" page. Than you should enter remote host connection settings http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk7.6/Windows/PMM/060809.17/plesk-win-pmm-guide/14459.gif
Where "Source host" is "127.0.0.1"

To make mail messages migration you should select "Mail messages migration " platform and click " Next". Next steps will depend of input data and described hire http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/P...uide/25467.htm


If you do not have accounts from "backupcommand.xml" you will have a lot of errors in the log file

04/04/2007 08:41:56 :  Errors occured while reading messages for the account [email][email protected][/email]. ( Can not backup account [email][email protected][/email]. Provider not found! )

You should ignore them, but at the end the users will be created without mail content.

We will add opputinuty to migrate mail account to Plesk without mail content in the next version.

Thanks.
