If you have a file with the email addresses and passwords you can create a shell script to use the DirectAdmin API to create the email addresses.

Note that you must have the unencrypted passwords.

Note also that for all email accounts you must tell your clients that DirectAdmin uses email logins differently than does Plesk:

Plesk:
username: joe
password: password

DirectAdmin:
username: [email protected]
password: password

(DirectAdmin uses the same form as Plesk ONLY for email addresses that are the same as the account user's login name.)

I can't; we haven't done it. Perhaps someone else can.
