Yes I see the problem. What good is security if you can poke holes in it with the object model? On the other hand, one wants to develop and run apps with Outlook.

The best solution to the problem would be on Microsoft's end. They could design their pop-up to allow more time, default to the last used value, or better yet to register the app as trusted, like you would on a firewall or something. Maybe I'll post a note on Ms support about this.

There is still the question of how Google Desktop Search talks to Outlook without generating the popup. They got by with a little help from their friends at Microsoft, I suppose.
