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.

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
You can also quickly find it by typing “mail” in the search box in the right top corner of Control Panel.
