No, you cannot do that using any public API exposed by Outlook.

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to get the bitmap of the icon of a mail message and
draw something on it and set it back to be the new icon of that message. I
need to do it seperately for some messages. Each mail message may have a
different icon (not yet opened, opened, replyed, forwarded). I need to get
the bitmap of whatever icon a message has and draw something on it so
indicate that this is some special message. Is there a way to do it using
OOM or MAPI?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Boaz.
