I have automated some activities in Outlook successfully with VB.  It was painful, mostly because of the completely bizarre object architecture for MS Office products in general and Outlook in particular.  Intuitive it ain't; see the recent reference in this forum to the weird approach to formatting a column in a spreadsheet in Excel.
 
IRB is your friend in this case, for sure.  But there's another question that seems consistently to be begged:  what specific testing task are you trying to automate, and why?  Is there a way that you could cover the risk acceptably without devoting an ugly little software development project to the problem?

You might want to investigate the win32::guitest project.  It recently got a  little more interest after being dormant for a while.
