• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

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)?
