Thanks for your hints Silvio. So, I have to write a dll (C++) to access
Outlook or windows registry using COM calls.
For what I need (getting and setting only Outlook accounts) seems that
dealing with windows registry is enough.
What do you mean by "applet must to be signed"? Does it mean a kind of
certification that the user can see and after approve to allow the applets
perform enhanced security tasks?

Kind regards,
Daniel
