Hi MSFT,

I am using Office 365 pro plus downloaded from portal.office.com. And I suddenly lost mail icon in my Windows10 Control panel.

I did quick/online repair, reinstalled office 2016, nothing worked.  I don't have any office14 or office15 installed

MLCFG32.CPL is under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16

I ran the command, but mail icon does not show up either.

rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\MLCFG32.CPL"

My office is the latest Version 1712, see the screenshot below. Any suggestions?

[Moved from:Office/Outlook/Windows 10/Office 2016]

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Settings

    I am installing a new Dell Inspiron 15 7000 for a client. I had the same problem – the mail icon was missing from the Control Panel.

    In Outlook 2016, I could configure an Exchange mail account. But I could not configure it manually, like changing the location of the OST file.

    So I followed the instructions of thecompu: Uninstall each Office application separately, and then downloading and installing Office 2016 from my clients Office account. Now there is an mail icon in the Control Panel.

    Unbelievable how Dell screwed this up. Instead of saving time because Office is preinstalled, it takes extra time to remove it and re-install it.

    Thank you, your fix did solve the issue.  Now I see the mail icon and also see Office in Programs and Features.

    I noticed this happened to me after I was playing around with 2 FA.  Now I have to go into Outlook/Account Settings to manage my profiles.
