Answer

Note: The issue that option Enable mail autodiscover remains present in Plesk > Domains > example.com > Mail Settings for domains without hosting type Website hosting is designated as a bug #PPPM-12560, which is scheduled to be fixed in an upcoming Plesk release.

A domain in Plesk must meet the following conditions in order to have the automatic mail setup options visible:

  • Mail Autodiscover is enabled in Tool & Settings > Mail Server Settings and in Domains > example.com > Mail > Mail Settings
  • Hosting type is set to Website Hosting

The differences between the setup options are the following:

  • Outlook, Gmail, or Thunderbird shows information for Mail Autodiscover setup by specifying mailbox name
  • iOS Mail shows a QR code and a link for Mail Autodiscover setup
  • Manual setup shows information to manually set up a mailbox in a mail client
