• 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.

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.
