The quick answer is "affirmative."

TECH NOTE: this article covers advanced topics.

This FAQ also answers the following questions:

"Is there any way we can script the creation/deletion of mailboxes using Zimbra?"
"Do you expose any of the Zimbra APIs to your customers?"
"This way we could run scripts on our side to automatically provision Zimbra mailboxes..."

The ZCS APIs run on public ports -- the web clients we all use speak SOAP back to the ZCS server. So, anything you can do with your Zimbra web interface can also be done via the ZCS API. As for account creation/deletion, etc., anything you can do as a domain administrator you can likewise do via the API calls.

Therefore, you can write an application that sends SOAP calls to the 01.com ZCS cloud server to provision accounts.

Now, your next question may be regarding those SOAP APIs -- where to get them? Go here.
