Marco, The config file is loaded from the application directory not from the directory containing the dll. The AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory property is used to lookup the application directory. This allows a dll to reside in the GAC an have different configuration for different applications. You can either work out where the application base directory is for Outlook and move your config file there or you can load the configuration file programmatically using the DOMConfiguratior.Configure(FileInfo) method.
