A recent upgrade from Microsoft Office 2013 to Office 365 Pro Plus on a Terminal Server presented a few curved balls.
After configuring and installing the program the Mail Icon was missing from the Control Panel and when clicked on Explorer reported it as file missing.
Running the Microsoft O365 Pro Plus quick repair made no improvement so a Full Online repair was started but all that resulted in was a complete de-installation of Office!
This seems to be a common issue so I thought I would post up what worked for me.
A user reported a missing Mail app icon in the Control Panel on a computer running Windows 10 1903. Office 365 is installed on the computer, and Outlook is used to access Exchange mailbox, accordingly the user cannot manage the email profiles without this tool. even after I install outlook there is no mail icon. My problems initially started when I downloaded the outlook connector beta. In order to properly set that up, I need the mail icon in the control panel (which I don't have). I tried to set it up anyway, it didn't work, and then outlook completely. When you open the control panel you can see the mail 32-bit icon lost its bitmap and when you click on this icon mostly it doesn’t do anything or it will show Application not found error. Here are the resolution steps to fix Mail 32 icon is missing from the control panel. Method 1: Reinstall Microsoft Office.

Nice write up. I had this issue one time, turned out I needed 32 bit (recommended of course).

Thanks, this was a 32 bit install so i think that may have been the issue
