Issue /var/qmail - contains emails but no attachments.

[TV871]

I want to backup my emails from my server, so when I searched where plesk stores the image, I can see email folders, but @attachments folder is empty for all email.

There is no way the folder should be empty unless something is wrong. Most of my emails contain attachments.

Where are email attachments in plesk stored?

Attachments are embedded in the messages themselves, they are not stored separately. Have a look within the folders below '/var/qmail/mailnames/example.com/mailuser/Maildir' (where example.com is an actual domain and mailuser is an actual mailbox).

Hello Ales.

Thank you so much. Does this mean, I only need to backup /var/qmail/ to back up the emails?

Well, /var/qmail/mailnames/ will cover all raw e-mail content.

I suggest looking into Backing Up and Restoration to perform structured backups.https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/backing-up-and-restoration.59256/
