Now webmail is not working! how to enable webmail without the need to host a web site on Plesk?
Hi!
When I do this on an existing web hosting domain (with content in httpdocs directory and databases in mysql) , does it delete the content and all the directories or it just changes the web server config levaing the content intact?
Thanks!
Hello Jorge Alves
The site content will be deleted.

Putting answers behind a login wall is ridiculous. We already pay for the software. Who else is it going to apply to?
Good luck
Hi
I have a domain managed externally, by another provider. The domain points to another server (at a certain IP address), but I would like to use mail on a server with Plesk that is on a different server than the first one. What should I put in the MX record of the domain's DNS panel?
I followed this guide but when I open the webmail it tells me unable to log in.
