This Control Panel API is a pretty amazing idea. I've heard customers asking for some of these things (ability to set up email accounts outside of Control Panel, monitor disk space and bandwidth, etc.) for more than 10 years, at every host I've worked for.
Actually, it's kind of surprising to me that no one has done it before, but it's good to be part of the innovative crew here at DiscountASP. ;) [This has been a paid political announcement.]
The closest thing I've ever seen to a desktop application that interacted with a hosting account was way back in 97 or 98 when we started to develop a little desktop file transfer application at A******y (names changed to protect the innocent) that was never completely fleshed out. I figured someone else would pick up where that left off, but no one did.
I look forward to seeing what you guys do with this. Interesting times!
