• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

XML-RPC API does not set or update mailbox quota

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

Plesk 18.0.38 Update #2

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

[Issue based on forum topic opent by @MicheleP. I am able to reproduce issue on my servers.]

Issue: mailbox size does not change when using the Plesk XML-RPC to update the mailbox diskspace quota, while the API responded with a status OK, indicating a successful update of the mailbox diskspace quota. Nor can the mailbox size when creating a new mailbox using the API.

XML package
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<packet>
    <mail>
        <update>
            <set>
                <filter>
                    <site-id>33</site-id>
                    <mailname>
                        <name>info</name>
                        <mailbox>
                            <enabled>true</enabled>
                            <quota>-1</quota>
                        </mailbox>
                    </mailname>
                </filter>
            </set>
        </update>
    </mail>
</packet>

XML response
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<packet version="1.6.9.1">
    <mail>
        <update>
            <set>
                <result>
                    <status>ok</status>
                    <mailname>
                        <name>info</name>
                    </mailname>
                </result>
            </set>
        </update>
    </mail>
</packet>

Observe the mailbox size/quota unchanged in GUI (of CLI)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create mailbox
2. Set a size for mailbox or leave default
3. Connect to XML-RCP API and send XML packacke bellow:

XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<packet>
    <mail>
        <update>
            <set>
                <filter>
                    <site-id>33</site-id>
                    <mailname>
                        <name>info</name>
                        <mailbox>
                            <enabled>true</enabled>
                            <quota>-1</quota>
                        </mailbox>
                    </mailname>
                </filter>
            </set>
        </update>
    </mail>
</packet>

ACTUAL RESULT

API will respond with status OK but mailbox diskspace quota did not update.

EXPECTED RESULT

Mailbox diskspace quota does update accordingly.

It is possible to adjust quota via CLI as an alternative:

# plesk bin mail --update [email protected] -mbox_quota 50M
