I am exploring the possibility of customizing office outlook to add some new functionality.

Here is what I am trying to achieve.

1. 
   

   Add a new navigation pane functionality similar to, Mail, Calender, Contacts, ... I can achieve this as documented here.

   
   


2. 
   

   The main form that accompanies the navigation pane, should be totally customizable. I define the controls, its position, events on the controls, ect. Typical development of a form.

   
   


3. 
   

   I must have the ability to define interfaces, to be able to receive data from another source like maybe a server not related to office server for mails (The data will be displayed on form).

   
   


4. 
   

   Modify the data and send back.

   
   

Is this possible? Does office allow me to customize to the extent, that I can define interfaces and have customized forms?
