Is it possible to add new items to the 'new' menu,including icons?

[Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]]

You can add items to the File menu or other Outlook menus. Just get
the menu you want as a CommandBar, get its Controls collection and use
the Add method. Make sure anything you add is added as temporary.

The context menus are not accessible.

You can use CDO's Session.AddressBook method to display contacts and
return CDO Recipient objects. You can also use Extended MAPI with C++
or Delphi, or you can use Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption)
which is a COM wrapper for Extended MAPI.

For an excellent example of a COM addin that handle command bars as
well as showing Outlook COM addin best practices, see the ItemsCB
sample addin on the Resources page at www.microeye.com
