Your component would need to iterate the items in the desired folder using Outlook objects or, to avoid security prompts, Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/) and then display them in some fashion.

Why don't you want to use the existing Outlook View Control?

Note that OUtlook Express has no programming model to speak of.

Hi All!
