Replace the Office Web Add-in with a native Windows application.
The web add-in required Exchange/M365 for registration which is
not available in all customer environments (standalone Office,
POP/IMAP only).
The new app:
- Uses COM Interop to access Outlook contacts directly
- Communicates with Starface REST API (accepts self-signed certs)
- Runs as System Tray app with optional auto-sync
- Profile-based config stored in %AppData%
- No webserver, no certificates, no Exchange, no M365 needed
- Inno Setup installer for clean MSI-style deployment
- Works with any Outlook version (Classic and New)
