The Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM) API provides access to Personal Information Manager (PIM) data on Windows® phones. It mirrors the desktop version of the Outlook Object Model, yet it has a smaller scope of functionality. POOM is a COM-based type library that provides an objectoriented framework for creating, modifying, and displaying IAppointment, ITask, and IContact items—and for manipulating the folders that contain them.

POOM began shipping on mobile devices running the Pocket PC 2000 and Smartphone 2002 platforms. POOM for Windows Mobile is also known as POOM2. It is an extension of the version of POOM that ships with Windows Embedded CE (also known as POOM1). For information on POOM1, see this Microsoft Web site.
