Namespace extension

[Graham Wright]

Is it possible for an addin to display extra folders and items within the
Outlook folder tree in the same way as you can use a namespace extension to
display information within Windows Explorer ?

Yes, the component you would need to construct would be a MAPI information
store. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/mapi.htm . This is a task for C++ or
Delphi and Extended MAPI.

This seems to be a sparsely documented area. Do you have any pointers about
approaching such a task ?

Other than to look at the available samples, no. ExMAPI is far beyond my
skills.
