I have contacts stored in a mySQL database, is it possible to create an add-in that presents a virtual address book with contact information that is retrieved from the database? I don't want to do an import, I want the virtual address book to change as data in the contacts table changes.

I think you need to write a custom address book provider for Outlook. IIRC these have to be implemented in C++ due to MAPI requirements, but someone may have exposed these interfaces to languages like C# now.
