On the bottom of my Outlook 2013 view, there is MAIL, CALENDAR, PEOPLE, TASK, ....

1. Are these considered Explorers?
2. Can I (via button) change this view?

Hello Mark,

These are part of the Navigation pane. The buttons represent NavigationModule objects. I suggest that you start with https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.navigationpane and check what you can and what you cannot do.

What do you mean by change this view?

Thank you Andrei, Can you share a small snippet of setting the CurrentModule to a different module? 
Dim nav As Outlook.NavigationPane = OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer.NavigationPane
nav.CurrentModule = ????????

Mark,

You can use the NavigationModules.GetNavigationModule() method or NavigationModules.Item(...) method to get the navigation module required. See also https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.navigationmodule.
