In this particular case, it might be tricky. Address Book access is done using Mozilla components. That is, OOo ships with some Mozilla libraries, which provide functionality for accessing the Mozilla, Outlook/Express, and Windows Address Book in a unified manner. In OOo, this is then wrapped via a database driver. This is somewhat questionable from a architectural point of view (at least this is my today's understanding :), and not really easy to maintain. So, if we will ever invest significant effort here, I might be tempted to say that a new, dedicated MAPI driver might be a more future-proof solution. As a number of people have proven in the past, it's no magic at all to write a database driver for a new backend type, so this might even be a not-too-challenging task for the people you know.
