Outlook Missing Microsoft Store Icon
I’m trying to make a change to my Mail Profile and I was advised to go to Control Panel-> Mail. However, when I go to Control Panel, there is no Mail icon.
When the new Start menu is enabled, the My Computer, My Documents, and My Network Places icons are removed from the desktop. To restore these icons, follow these steps: Right-click the desktop and click Properties. Click the Desktop tab. Click Customize desktop. Click the General tab, and then click the icons that you want to place on the desktop. Microsoft Outlook has disappeared as an app o my computer. I can find it in my Microsoft office suite, but it only opens up in an internet only version. I have tried re downloading microsoft office 365, but the problem remains the same.
Where exactly is it located?
The Mail icon to manage your Outlook Mail Profile may sometimes be hard to find indeed, especially on Windows 10.
When you are using Windows 10, make sure you open “Control Panel” and not “Settings”. When you open the Start Menu, simply type “Control Panel” to find it.
Another reason why you may not be able to find it is when you’ve installed Office or Outlook via the Windows Store. In that case, there is no Mail applet added to Control Panel.
Luckily, there are 2 additional easy methods to open the dialog to manage your Outlook Mail Profiles.
The Mail Setup dialog allows you to manage or reset your Outlook email configuration outside of Outlook.
Note: For instructions about managing your accounts and recreating your mail profile via the Mail applet see; Adding/Recreating a Mail Profile.
Method 1: Control Panel
If your Control Panel is in the classic icon layout, you should see the Mail applet directly in the list of icons.
If your Control Panel is set to “View by: Category” you can find the Mail applet in;
- Windows 7: User Accounts and Family Safety
- Windows 8: User Accounts and Family Safety
- Windows 10: User Accounts
Microsoft Store Games
You can also quickly find it by typing “mail” in the search box in the right top corner of Control Panel.

- File-> section: Info-> button: Account Settings-> Manage Profiles
Opening the Mail Setup dialog from within Outlook.
Method 3: Command line switch
When you are using Outlook 2016, Outlook 2019 or Microsoft 365, then you can also open the Mail Setup dialog with the /managemailprofiles switch.
