    ok, found myself:
    Changing the Status Bar
    There is no way to change the status bar text in Microsoft Outlook. The status bar is not exposed as it is in other Microsoft Office object models.

    You will need to use APIs to change the text of Outlooks statusbar. Look up the FindWindow, FindWindowEx, and SendMessage with the WM_SETTEXT constant. The class name of the statusbar for Outlook 2003 is "msctls_statusbar32" If you use MS Spy++ you can get the window structure so you will know how to drill down the window heiarchy.
