Resolved command line mbox_quota set unlimited wrongly

nethubonline

Regular Pleskian
Plesk version: Version 17.5.3 Update #18
OS: Windows 2012
Mail server: MailEnable 9.7.4

According to document here, command "plesk bin mail --update JDoe@example.com -mbox_quota -1" should result in setting the default mailbox quota for its domain.
mail: Mail Accounts

However, it is not true, but setting the quota to "Unlimited" in MailEnable .

How to duplicate:
  1. Add a service plan with "Mailbox size" 20GB
  2. Add a subscription and assign to above service plan
  3. Create an email account JDoe@example.com with quota 10GB
  4. Run command "plesk bin mail --update JDoe@example.com -mbox_quota -1"
  5. Check MailEnable Admin, you can see the quota is "Unlimited" but not 20GB
 
"-1" value in Plesk CLI utilities is always meant "Unlimited".
