   In case domain is suspended

   • Go under Plesk > Domains > example.com.
   • Activate /enable the domain.

   In case the mail service is disabled for this domain

   • Go under Plesk > Domains > example.com > Mail Settings.

2. Log into Plesk on the target server.
3. Restart migration for the affected domain.
