• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

Email client keeps saying "Cannot find the server..."

Hello,

I have completed email set up on my server and have checked that email ports are open, but for some reason outlook keeps returning : "Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that you DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct."

The odd thing is that outlook still picks up emails if I receive any, but keeps returning above error every minute.

Check content of file /etc/host.conf File shouldn't be empty.
Also try to change configuration options that use 'localhost' to use '127.0.0.1':

# postconf smtpd_milters=inet:127.0.0.1:12768
# postconf non_smtpd_milters=inet:127.0.0.1:12768

and restart postfix service.
