Q: 

Outlook MAPI store provider. Managed?

Is it possible to create MANAGED (.NET) Outlook MAPI store provider? How?

I'm a complete novice in Outlook world, but don't wont to fiddle with all that COM droppings.

A: 

I too have wondered this. From digging around and the rule of not using .Net with MAPI, I do not think it is possible to accomplish.

You might be able to bend C++/CLR to get close close, but it is probably pretty ugly code. Doing it in unmanaged C++ is probably the most straight forward and easiest.

We finally ended up with a very thin store provider written in C++ which calls managed process for almost everything via IPC.
