Resolution

Please consider updating your server:

Workaround

If update is not possible for some reason you may try the following

temporary solution

Consider updating Plesk to 17.8.11 MU3.

If the update is not possible, the following workaround can be used:

  1. Connect to the server using SSH.

  2. Backup the configuration files config.inc.php and config.inc.php :

    # cp -a /usr/share/psa-roundcube/config/config.inc.php /root/old_config.inc.php
    # cp -a /usr/share/psa-roundcube/plugins/managesieve/config.inc.php /root/old_config.inc.php

  3. In the file /usr/share/psa-roundcube/config/config.inc.php set the value of the parameter verify_peer and verify_peer_name to false and allow_self_signed to true in $config\['imap_conn_options']" and in "$config['smtp_conn_options']"sections:

    CONFIG_TEXT: $config['imap_conn_options']
    ...
    'verify_peer' => false,
    'verify_peer_name' => false,
    'allow_self_signed' => true,

    CONFIG_TEXT: $config['smtp_conn_options'] = array(
    'ssl' => array(
    'verify_peer' => false,
    'verify_peer_name' => false,
    'allow_self_signed' => true,

  4. Set verify_peer and verify_peer_name to false and allow_self_signed to true in /usr/share/psa-roundcube/plugins/managesieve/config.inc.php

    CONFIG_TEXT: config['managesieve_conn_options'] = array(
    'ssl' => array(
    'verify_peer' => false
    'verify_peer_name' => false,
    'allow_self_signed' => true
