I'm sure there is much commonality in runtime libraries; anything that runs under Windows necessarily shares a great deal of shared runtime code.

In Outlook, at least, a separate provider handles interaction with outside mail servers, not the base client code itself. In OE, I imagine the code is specific to that product, although I don't recall looking at it.
