Question

What is the SOGo Webmail extension?

Answer

SOGo Webmail puts components on the Plesk server and uses IMAP and SMTP of the Plesk server. Everything else is carried inside the extension. SOGo works as a Webmail option in addition to Roundcube/Horde in the subscriptions.
 
Known limitations

  • Authentication
    • Only "sym" passwords can be used for authentication (symmetric hash, default configuration), "crypt" hashes will result in authentication failure.
  • Packaging. Plesk installs the SOGo Webmail from OS vendors repos (in the extension, we call it “stable” if they available there).
    • Nightly packages' compatibility is not guaranteed. Nightly packages are only available on RHEL 8, RHEL 9, Debian 11, Debian 12, Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.04
    • Stable packages are only available on RHEL 8, RHEL 9, Debian 11, Debian 12, Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.04
  • Miscellaneous
    • At the moment, the extension is only available in English.
    • Dovecot IMAP server is required, compatibility with Courier IMAP was not tested.
    • Backup/migration is not fully implemented at the moment.
    • SOGo database must be stored on the same host as the Plesk database.
