Silverlight 4 and Outlook 2010 Out of Browser

Question

Dear StackOverflowers;

How/what is the best way to access a user outlook while out of browser in Silverlight ?

I'm looking for sample code to start making queries on a user e-mail box after the user installs a silverlight app.

I know this busts most if not all of the silverlight security sandboxes, but installing elevates the app trust to that of the user.

RedCritter has a free SDK that allows you to run Silverlight Apps inside Microsoft Outlook. It also has extensions for Windows Desktop Search that also allow you to query the user's inbox. http://www.redcritter.com
