First-Time Setup

Admin username Admin email Admin password Confirm admin password

Mail & Domain Settings

Important: do not use the local 127.0.0.1 preset unless the server actually accepts local plaintext IMAP. Most customer installs should use the standard SSL/TLS mail host preset. If Plesk shows a self-signed mail certificate, use the Plesk self-signed preset or install a valid mail certificate.

Default domain Allowed domains IMAP host IMAP port IMAP encryption Validate IMAP certificate SMTP host SMTP port SMTP encryption SMTP authentication / mailbox auth

Required IMAP Login Test

Enter an existing mailbox to prove the frontend webmail login will work with these settings. The password is tested once and is not saved. If the host, port, encryption or certificate setting is wrong, the test now fails quickly instead of leaving the browser loading indefinitely.

IMAP test mailbox IMAP test password

Recommended: use the standard mail host SSL/TLS preset. Use the Plesk self-signed preset when the server is reachable but reports a self-signed Plesk certificate. Use the local server advanced preset only after confirming local plaintext IMAP is accepted.
