Limbic~Region:

Here in the salt mines, our security is tied down pretty tightly, so applications attempting to access an Outlook session from a different process invoke a dialog box for the user to key in their password to give the application access to Outlook. Perhaps you're running into something like that? You might be able to test it by RDPing into your computer with a different account and trying to access the Outlook session you already have running. (IIRC, another way you can see if the service account is opening a dialog box is by looking at the Event Viewer | Applications page.)

Other than that, I can't think of anything.

(I'm quite selfishly hoping you'll be successful, as I tried to get an automatic process to load EMail from Outlook into a database so I could search / archive / categorize / graph it more easily. I got access, but the aforementioned security problem stonewalled me. I'll try to think on it some more and/or dig up my OutlookDB project and see if I can come up with something.)
