You should really use MAPI for both Outlook and OE. Why develop two different codebases to do the same thing when you don't have to? It also poses an installation and maintanence hastle.

The problem is, there's two types of MAPI. The first is the original and exposes an automation interface (which means it's scriptable). Because it's scriptable, it was used by email worms. So Microsoft developed Extended MAPI which has no automation interface and requires that you use native bindings a la C++.

With .NET and C# you can actually use both. You can use MAPI but Outlook will warn when trying to access folders. You might have seen this before. Starting with Outook XP, IIRC, it prompts to allow access for a set number of minutes (or only for the current call).

Using Extended MAPI requires that you P/Invoke native functions.

You can find articles about doing both here on CodeProject as well as MSDN[^]. Just do a search.
