Look into the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK, the
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook to be specific.

For Pocket PC 2003 check out Peter Foot's InTheHand Mobile

Here's some sample code to get started with:

private Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.OutlookSession session;
private Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.ContactsCollection contacts;

void LoadContacts() {
session = new OutlookSession();
contacts = session.Contacts.Items;

lbContacts.DataSource = contacts; // lbContacts is a ListBox Control
}

Just remember to dispose your OutlookSession and ContactsCollection objects.
