  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    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. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Suggestions for improvement: backup feedback and mailbox usage

Knarf

Basic Pleskian
I have a few suggestions for improvement:

Download backup feedback indicator
When using save backup to local station, it takes a long time (i.e. 15 minutes for a backup of 4 GB) before the save to disk dialog box appears. I think this is caused by the backup being archived on the server before sending it to the local station. During that time, I always wonder if something is happening, because I get no feedback. It would be nice if you get some sort of feedback or progession indicator, so you know everything is proceeding fine.

Disk usage of mailboxes
It would be nice to see the disk usage of each mailbox. Some users don't empty the mailboxes, causing large backups. It would be nice if I could detect a problem and inform the user.

Dutch translation error
In the Dutch translation of the Plesk Panel, there is a button in the top right corner with the question mark and text "Contact" (Get help on this page). It would be more logical to call this button just "Help".

Thanks and good luck with this fine product
