  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

How to delete messages from server

I have a problem. There are 2 e-mail adresses. One of them, forwards its mails to another. For exapmle, something1@net.com forwards its mails to something2@net.com. Messages are beeing viewed via Outlook. Person reads e-mail only from something2@net.com account. In Outlook for that email it is set in Tools->Accounts->Mail tab->choosen email ->properties->advanced tab and there is chosen no to leave copy of message on server.

So, when somebody sends a message to somethin1@net.com the message gets there in inbox, and also is forwarded to something2@net.hr. And gets successfully there in inbox as well.
When user reads messages in Outlook mail for account something2@net.hr, message is automatically deleted on server for that account so when you log on to webmail, message is no longer there, and that works fine. But the messages on the first mail, from which messages are forwarded, something1@net.com, are never erased from server. That account, it is important to say that it is never read via Outlook, so there is of course no definition in Outlook about deleting any messages from server for that account. Messages are growing, and that is problem, because e-mails have capacity limit. How to delete messages from server for that mail something1@net.com from where mail is forwarded, if it is never viewed in Outlook ?

Would appreciate your help

Please try to clear option Mailbox on page Plesk > "net.com" > Mail > "something1@net.com" > Mailbox.

We don't want to allow that users have unlimited capacity for storing messages.

Wouldn't I with that disable Mailbox quota, and set the capacity as unlimited?

You don't need to trouble about quota if messages are not stored in mailbox.
