  • 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.

Resolved Webmailer doesn't work anymore after having it disabled temporarily

I have migrated my plesk server to a new host and after everything was up and running, I checked the horde webmailer for my domains.
The webmailers did work well.
On the Tools & Settings - Webmail Services it says:
"If you need to hide a webmail service temporarily, disable it using the button below."
Unluckily, I did try it and disabled Horde but after re-enabling it, the webmailer page doesn't open anymore.
Instead, I get a default page as attached.
Mail - Mail Settings show that the Mail Service and Horde Webmail is enabled for all my 2 domains.
The DNS record for webmail.[myDomain] show a proper setup.
How can I get the webmailer working again?

Additional Info:
I already did a server reboot and I temporarily set the Webmailer to NONE in Mail - Mail Settings for my domains but nothing of it solved the problem.
 
It needs at least the server restart interval set in Tools & Settings > Apache. Instead, you can restart Nginx and Apache manually, e.g.
Code:
# apachectl -t
# systemctl reload apache2
# nginx -t
# systemctl reload nginx
If this does not help, try to examine the configuration files in /var/www/vhosts/system/<domain name>/conf whether the webmail subdomain is configured in them. If not, reconfigure the web server configuration files.
 
Thanks for the quick reply.
# apachectl -t
Syntax OK
# systemctl reload apache2.service
# nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
# systemctl reload nginx

# find /var/www/vhosts/system/*/conf | grep -i -e horde -e webmail

no output from the last command.
Does Horde possibly require a special PHP Version?
Maybe it helps if I uninstall/re-install the webmail module?
 
I found the solution
Although Mail - Mail Settings did show the Mail Service as ON (see image), I clicked the Activate/Deactivate Services Button and set Mail Service and Webmail to enabled.
Now it works again.
To me, this seems to be a bug in the Plesk GUI.
