• 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.

Unable to change mail password

I added a new domain and created a new/first mail account under this domain. The mail account name is [email protected]. However, when I try to set a common password for this account, I got the following error:

The password is incorrect, use at least 5 characters. The password should not contain mail name as its part. Only Latin characters, no dictionart words.

I am sure the password is ok. My password has 6 letters, without "info" in it. I used this password for mail account of another domain, without any problem. I tried to use a different password (insert 3 numbers into this password) and it works. I tried to change this password to my 6 letters one, got the same error again. Please help.
 
You must be using "short" mail account names. If you use short names, Plesk determines which email address you are trying to use by the password, therefore, you cannot duplicate passwords. Go to <SERVER><MAIL> and change the IMAP/POP3 setting to "use long names" and you will be able to use the password that you want.
