Pocket Outlook does not have any user configurable fields - you cannot
change the names of any of the built in fields. It is possible (with some
caveats) to link other information to specific contacts in your own
application by referencing the contacts Oid within your own datastore. In
which case you would need to provide your own UI to make this look fully
integrated, and if you wanted to Sync such data to the desktop it becomes
exponentially more complication as the way desktop Outlook and Pocket
Outlook uniquely identify records is completely different - Outlook uses
Guids and Pocket Outlook uses Oids (4 byte integers).
