Where are mailboxes located on a Plesk server

In Plesk for Linux, mailboxes are stored in the directory specified in the PLESK_MAILNAMES_D parameter in the Plesk configuration file /etc/psa/psa.conf:

# grep PLESK_MAILNAMES_D /etc/psa/psa.conf
PLESK_MAILNAMES_D /var/qmail/mailnames

By default, the path is /var/qmail/mailnames (for both Postfix and Qmail mail servers).

Plesk for Windows supports several mail servers and each stores path in its configuration.

The default mail server is MailEnable and mailboxes are located in one of these folders (depends on a Plesk release):

• %plesk_dir%Mail Servers\Mail Enable\Postoffices
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Mail Enable\Postoffices

To find the actual path to mailboxes of any mail server, start Plesk Reconfigurator from Windows Start > Plesk and click Change Plesk Mail Data Location:
