Extremely inefficient, and also a source of memory leaks. You're logging
into and off of CDO.Session objects on each call?
For managed code and Outlook 2003 your options are limited. You can do what
you're doing now or you can use Redemption (
www.dimastr.com/redemption) or
another API that works with managed code.
