• 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.

Migrating from an old mail system

We've just setup our first Plesk hosting server. We have a bunch of users currently on an old POP3 server (Merak) that we'd like to migrate to the new Plesk server.

What is the least painful way to accomplish this?

Here's my thoughts:
- Notify the users that their POP3 server is going to change at a certain time.
- At the appointed time, cut over the DNS so that new mail is delivered to the Plesk server..
- Users download their mail from the old POP3 server and then change their client settings to point to the new POP3 server.

Is there an easier way to do this that doesn't involve the user's having to change their settings (aside from password)?
