If you need to support Outlook Express, you'll have to use Simple MAPI,
there's no other APIs for that. Everything else supports Simple MAPI, so
that's the best way to go, and it'll let you do what you need.

If you don't need to use the Notes APIs (and I don't think you do with
your requirements) then I'd recommend avoiding them -- they work, but
they're pretty complicated, and thinking about it I don't know how well
they work from C# either. They're more powerful than Simple MAPI, but if
you don't need the extra abilities, then it's just going to make your
life complicated for no good reason.

No, you can't distribute CDO.DLL other than as part of Outlook.
