  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

IMAP/POP dead after upgrade to Plesk 7.5.4

Regular Pleskian
After upgrading Plesk to 7.5.4 suddenly it was impossible to login to Horde.

Checking around I found there was no IMAP on port 141 as required by IMP (according to https://server/horde/imp/test.php)

Checking Plesk -> Server -> Services shows POP/IMAP to be stopped. Clicking the [>] start button fails to produce any result.

/var/log/messages report:

imapd.rc suggests starting IMAPD on port 143.

What is this mess?
 
Make sure that you do not have the courier-imap service in xinetd, this can cause the above behaviour.
 
Spot on! That was the problem, Thanks!

How could this happen? I'm certain I didn't enable them!
