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.
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.
