hi!
I am developing a email appliaction using java mail API.
it provides with all the functions like reading, sending etc. but there is no feature to create new mail accounts on the mail server.
if anybody has a solution to this, please share with me.
 
That's for good reason. You wouldn't want somebody writing a script that can take over your server and add anybody it wants would you? I have seen however scripts that have teir own user database but these only work for systems that allow outside relaying. If this script is your own and for your own use. Then you can allow relaying through your server for the users in the database. I'm not sure how this is done but I know you can pass mail to a program from sendmail and you can also create a user database. In any case, you could be opening your system up for spam so be careful.
