No need to post twice.
Just adding a named property to the PS_PUBLIC_STRINGS namespace doesn't make
it an Outlook UserProperty. In addition to adding the property to that
namespace you'd need to hack the undocumented binary blob that Outlook uses
to recognize a UserProperty from a named property in PS_PUBLIC_STRINGS.
The blob can be associated with the item if the UserProperty is only on the
item, or it can be part of a hidden message in the folder with a
MessageClass of IPC.MS.REN.USERFIELDS, in which case the blob is contained
in the property PR_USERFIELDS (0x36E30102), if the UserProperty was added to
the folder fields.
Read your property using the Outlook 2007 PropertyAccessor for the item,
using the PS_PUBLIC_STRINGS namespace as part of the DASL property tag you
supply to PropertyAccessor for any of the property set/get methods.
