You'll probably want to automate the Outlook Application itself
via its IDispatch COM interface ("Outlook.Application"). There
you do have some degree of control over the interface. I think
that if you need more than that, you'll have to look at Outlook
plugins and perhaps take a look at the Spambayes project for some
examples there.
