If I want to incorporate mailbox access -- browsing folders, looking at attachments, maybe some calendar and contacts -- into a Windows app (VS2005), what are the best technologies to use? Are there any existing controls (commercial products okay) that can render a folder tree? How do these tools play with the user's existing Outlook/MAPI session? Ideally, I'm looking for a solution that would work with a local PST file, but we're willing to consider anything at this stage. All responses welcome. Thanks in advance.
Outlook Object Model should work fine, but you would be responsible for the UI. http://www.outlookcode.com is a good place to start.
