No Mail Icon in the control panel

i'm down a rabbit hole, trying to recover pst's into Outlook 2003 and there is a lot of references to utilizing mail icon | properties through the CP, but i don't have one...sounds like a problem to me--what say u? help anyone.:sa:

I have the same problem. I'm trying to set up a Microsoft Exchange account for my Outlook 2007. This directs me to the mail icon in the control panel and there is not one in Vista!
