Access Outlook from process other than Outlook process

[Wassim Dagash]

If I use OL objects from process (other than OL process) will the
operations I perform on the outlook object e excuted on the OL process
or on a worker thread immitating OL process?

Im asking this question cause Im trying to use OL OOM from a desktop
application which runs on different process.

I don't understand what you mean by a worker thread imitating the Outlook
process. Outlook addin code runs in-process with the Outlook.exe process.
External Outlook code runs in its own process space.

Add all the calls made to the Outlook Object Model from a process other than
outlook.exe still end up in the outlook.exe process space - Outlook is an
out-of-proc singleton COM server.
