  Hey there! I'll go through and answer these in order to make sure I don't miss anything. 1 - "Subaccount" is just the general term for the function, but it can be used to make an email account. For example, here's an SSH version of the UAPI call to make an email account named "emailtest@domain.com" uapi --user=username UserManager create_user domain='domain.com' password=12345 username=emailtest services.email.enabled=1
  2 - At this time there is not a built-in function to create a random password. I'm sure there is a way to call a custom password generator script along with the API itself, but that would require a bit more programming work. 3 - I'm not seeing a way to do this one either, but that sounds like an excellent feature request if you'd like to get that submitted using the link in my signature below.
