PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

CentOS 7.9,
Plesk 18.0.46 Update #1

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

When an email address has multiple aliases the top alias listed on the Email Aliases tab misses the remove option. Which makes hard for users to remove the first alias in the list.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

In Plesk create a email address and added multiple aliases to it. Notice how all aliases have a remove button, except the first alias.

ACTUAL RESULT

First alias is cannot be remove (well, only with workarounds listed bellow).

EXPECTED RESULT

Being able the remove the first alias just as the other aliases.

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

As a workaround the first alias can be removed by removing any value from the input field. However I would say this not a very intuitive and user friendly methode.

Thank you, @Kaspar
This is intended behaviour by design. Improvement of the Mail alias menu in Plesk GUI is a feature request:

Please reconsider this feature request. We're all trying to make Plesk the best and most user-friendly control panel, and something like this comes up.

What's the point in making it harder for the end user to remove the first alias? It's not intuitive to clear the field when you want to remove an alias, as you can remove the others with a simple click on the remove button/link. How can this be an intended behavior by design?

Ok. After discussion with colleagues, the bug was confirmed: PPPM-13721

This issue got solved in the 18.0.47 release.

The “Remove alias” button is now shown for all mail aliases belonging to a mailbox, including the first one in the list. (PPPM-13721)
