• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

IMAP/POP dead after upgrade to Plesk 7.5.4

Regular Pleskian
After upgrading Plesk to 7.5.4 suddenly it was impossible to login to Horde.

Checking around I found there was no IMAP on port 141 as required by IMP (according to https://server/horde/imp/test.php)

Checking Plesk -> Server -> Services shows POP/IMAP to be stopped. Clicking the [>] start button fails to produce any result.

/var/log/messages report:

imapd.rc suggests starting IMAPD on port 143.

What is this mess?
 
Make sure that you do not have the courier-imap service in xinetd, this can cause the above behaviour.
 
Spot on! That was the problem, Thanks!

How could this happen? I'm certain I didn't enable them!
