Folder Icon in Outlook Tree

[Anyone for Coffee?]

In the tree on the left hand side Outlook iconizes a number of it's folders:
deleted items is a little recycle bin; junk email has a no-entry sign
overlaid; RSS feeds has the classic RSS icon overlayig the folder; etc

I want to create a folder with MY icon (or any other non-default icon).

Anyone know how I can do this?

You cannot do that using any public API exposed by Outlook.

Do you know what my options are for this then?

Do I need to implement my own MAPI store?

The only option is to hack the Outlook UI to find the window handle of the
tree view control and directly access it.
MAPI store providers really have no say in what icon Outlook uses.
