Gerasimos Perentidis Hi!, is "Enable mail management functions in Plesk" greyed out or you mean another part of the UI. Is not not normal that it gets disabled. Please open a support ticket with us so we can investigate.
Why is the main button/option grayed out ?

Why is this option getting disabled randomly out of nowhere?
Why?
Tool & Settings >> Mail >> Mail Server Settings >
"Enable mail management functions in Plesk"
