Hi.
I'm trying to create a pop mailbox and also to delete such a mailbox via cpanel API and I have some questions:
1. Do I need to create a Subaccount for everyone I want to open a pop mailbox for?
When I read the documentation for Create email address I see this message:
So do I need to create a Subaccount for everyone I want to open a pop mailbox for? I just need mailboxes without any FTP or other access.
2. In both cases (add_pop and create_user) I see that I should create a password during the account / mailbox creation - Is there a way to have cpanel to issue a random password to such a user / mailbox just like when manually creating a mailbox?
3. I see that when creating a Subaccount there is a way to send a reset password email to the Subaccount's alternate email address ( send_invite=) but the welcome_email is sent to the client account - is there a way for me to send those instructions ( services.email.send_welcome_email= ) to the alternate email address?
I would really appreciate your input.
Thanks!

The problem is that I was unable to find a UserManager::create_user api command unless it's the Create Subaccount command.
- We recommend that you use the UAPI UserManager::create_user function to create an email address instead of this function. This function is incompatible with the Reset Password feature.
