Outlook 2000/2002 support COM Addins. Possibly
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dno2...
l/mso2kaddin.asp (sorry about the wrap) will be a good jump off point.
Outlook 97 - 2002 also support Exchange client extensions. I think

_extensions.asp will be a good intro.
As for Outlook Express, it does not expose any objects to the developer. If
you need to support this client (e.g. send mail) then you would be using the
Simple MAPI library calls. If you are looking to integrate a product into
it, then you are pretty much on your own when it comes to subclassing the
windows or creating your wedge into the product.
