TITLE:
REQUEST: A check box to turn on ssl=required in Dovecot
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Plesk 17.5 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
These are the current settings of dovecot

find /etc/dovecot -type f -name \*.conf -exec egrep -H '^(disable_plaintext_auth|ssl) *=' {} \;
Code:
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-plesk-security.conf:disable_plaintext_auth = no
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/11-plesk-security-ssl.conf:ssl= yes

I would like to set it on "ssl= required" using the Plesk interface.
This can now only be done by editing the configuration files of Dovecot.
Such alterations can sometimes be undone by Plesk in my experience.

By using "required" you will stop using plain connections in mail. This would be a good start for a new server and start phasing out those old mail clients.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
This can now only be done by editing the configuration files of Dovecot.
Such alterations can sometimes be undone by Plesk in my experience.​
ACTUAL RESULT:
Not possible​
EXPECTED RESULT:
possible in the webif​
