To extend the features of Outlook. This could include simple things like
starting a new message and pre-addressing it, extending the inbox rules
manager, to more complex things like Microsoft's Small Business Contact
Manager where you get intergration between products by catching/listening
for events (e.g. Adding/Modify/Deleting a contact record from a folder).

Some of the better sites to learn about coding is www.slipstick.com and
www.outlookcode.com. Both sites are managed by Outlook MVPs.
