You cannot use Outlook without a profile (unless it is Outlook 98/2000 in
the IMO mode, which has one predefeined profile).
If Outlook does not prompt you for the profile name, that does *not* mean
there is no profile.
What do you see when you go to Start|Control Panel|Mail|Show Profiles.
Is there an EX server in your default profile?

When you access Recipient.AddressEntry in Redemption is that it retrieves
PR_ENTRYID from the recipients and table and uses it to call
IAddrBook::OpenEntry.
In order to do that, it need IAddrBook, which comes from
IMAPISession::OpenAddrBook, hence it needs to have IMAPISession.
IMAPISession can come either from your explicitly setting
MAPIUtils.MAPIOBJECT to Namespace.MAPIOBJECT in OOM, or from logging to MAPI
and either retrieve teh currently running MAPI session (if Outlook is
already running) or by logging to the default MAPI profile.
After Redemption has IAddrBook, it will call IAddrBook:OpenEntry; and if the
entry id cannot be recognized in tehe current session, then
Reciouent.AddressEntry will return NULL.
