On October 19, 2021, we have enabled single-sign-on for our Plesk Support Center to provide a seamless login/account experience. This implies that you’ll be able to use a single account across any of our web-facing properties.
If you had already registered your account at Plesk 360 (formerly known as My Plesk) please use one for login. Otherwise please re-register it using the same email address as your existing Zendesk login (support account). It’s essential that you use the same email address on our support center to ensure that your tickets stay attached to the same account.

    Make sure that your subscription plan has a number greater than 0.  This will enable the mail service

    At first I diddn't understand what @Marcos ment, but he was in fact totally right!

    If you set email accounts to 0 in your service plan, there won't be a email tab in subscriptions and domains. Even if mail service is enabled on that domain...

    The service is enabled, but still not able to see the Mail tab, nor to include any user with email addresses.
