Icon "Mail" missing in panel of

You need to go to C://program files/microsoft office/office 11 (or 12)/

there you will find the file MLCFG32.CPL

Hello,

I am on Vista but I don't have a "mail" icon in the notification area; however, I have it installed on the desktop and it's just as convenient. It all depends on what you expect from it... ;-)

To resolve this issue, do the following:

1. Ensure that the file in the following Control Panel exists and functions as expected:
Drive: \PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\System\MSMAPI\1033\mlcfg32.cpl
2. Click Start, click Run, type regedit and click OK.
3. Locate the following Registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\MMCPL
4. Ensure that the Registry entry mlcfg32.cpl exists. Also, make sure its value is set as follows:
Drive: \PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\System\MSMAPI\1033\mlcfg32.cpl
If the Registry entry mlcfg32.cpl does not exist, you need to create it. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Right-click on the Registry subkey MMCPL, point to New and click String Value.
2. Type the name of the Registry entry mlcfg32.cpl.
3. Double-click on the Registry entry mlcfg32.cpl, type Drive: \PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\System\MSMAPI\1033\mlcfg32.cpl in the Value and then click OK.
5. Exit the Registry Editor, then open the Control Panel. The mail icon should appear as expected.

I would add one thing: depending on the version of Office 2003, 2007, or 2010, the common path is different. I have 2010, so the path is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1036\mlcfg32.cpl

I added the reg key, restarted my computer and the icon is there.

Up up up ... ^^ I still don't understand why :s

Re,

I'm rereading your message; I realize that my response is not in line with your request. In fact, I don't have that icon in the control panel either. I don't think it's very important, unless... Regards ;-)

Hi,
Same issue on Windows Vista 64 with Outlook 2007 and an Exchange 2003 server.
I managed to do it on other machines, never had problems with XP, but here Vista doesn't show a "Mail" icon in the control panel.
Thank you for your help.
