How to Programmatically Create An Email Account
I would like to create an email account without "Telnet"ing into a console
i.e. programmatic ally.
How would I do that ?

Perhaps taking a look at how some other folks have already done it would
help:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/yajamesmanager/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ajaconsole/
Both list themselves as web based admin consoles to JAMES (one "Stable",
one "Beta"), so they may have some insights for you.

Generally speaking I suggest you a google search on apache.org:
http://www.google.it/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=james+programmatically+add+users+site%3Aapache.org&btnG=Search&meta=
You basically add your keywords, "james" and "site:apache.org".
I just tried it and I think the first 3 results are interesting to you.

To get an UsersRepository instance you have to be inside Phoenix (our
container) and configure your component to lookup the ServiceManager or
make your component an Avalon component. I warn you this is not so easy
if you don't know Avalon.

If you configure JAMES to use "db" for the usersrepository, yes, it
stores users in the db. Otherwise it stores users in files.

In the database, in case you are using a database backend for James,
like many users do.

I think we do - yes, we do. Pretty frequently asked question this is.

In case you are using a database backend, the easiest way is to write
a program against the database, as Sebastion pointed out.
There are also many other ways, a few are described here.

Don't know what you find is the easiest, though.

Where is this james_users table? Do you understand my question Sir?
When one logs into the console: telnet localhost:4555
one can just type "add test test" (for adding of a test user with password
test).
I would like to do this programmatically; What is the easiest way of doing
this programmatically?

If the users are stored in a database, just add a new entry in the
james_users table. Thats it.
