Does Plesk support modern authentication methods for connections to its mail server?

Plesk for Windows kb: how-to Plesk for Linux

Applicable to:

  • Plesk for Linux
  • Plesk for Windows

Question

Some mail service providers (such as Outlook by Microsoft) are steadily deprecating basic authentication in favor of modern authentication methods such as OAuth, 2FA and MFA. Since Plesk does not support such modern authentication methods yet, importing mailboxes from such servers and connecting to the Plesk mail server via their mail clients is becoming hard. Will Plesk start supporting modern authentication methods for its mail servers anytime soon?

Answer

Support for the listed modern mail authentication methods is yet to be implemented in Plesk.
