I know how to telnet into a smtp server in order to send emails and I know how to telnet into a pop server in order to read emails.
Is there some protocol I can telnet into to create user accounts?

There is no built in SMTP command to create a user account / mailbox.
You will have to use the GUI or command line provided.
Otherwise anyone would just telnet / netcat to a machine running an SMTP server and attempt to create mailboxes.
Not sure why I'm being downvoted. Is this somehow a poor question? I read an RFC for SMTP and skimmed through an RFC for POP and did not find anything for creating user accounts. I assumed that there might be some other protocol that is used for that, but I could not find it. The only answer posted so far states that such a protocol does not exist. This is useful information to me. I don't see how this question is bad. – jliv902 – 2013-12-16T19:13:18.937
