Count the number of emails each day in Outlook 2003?

Question

This is for a little pet project of mine.

I want to write a program that does some email analytics and tells you the number of emails coming in and out each day, as well as your percentages. Really, all I need to do to kick this off is write a .Net app that can talk with Outlook and count the number of messages received and sent for give dates.

Before I got too deep into this, I figured I'd poll the group and see if there is a particular approach I should follow when starting something like this. Any thoughts?

You could write an Outlook Add-in which will do the job for you. its very easy to write an Add in using Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO).
