Outlook 2016 Icon in control panel

Created a GPO for the canonical name "Mail (Microsoft Outlook 2016)", but the item doesn't show up... anyone struggling with this too ?

i just tried it on my Server 2016 - E-Mail works, Mail does not.

 

this might change if you are using language packs for your users.

 

EDIT: not really correct. i have a german office installed and thats why E-Mail works :-)

for unknown reason, works now... "E-mail" did the trick.

Try MAILCFG32.CPL :)

Or else if that doesn't work, you can go with the long version:

 

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe" C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1\Office16\MLCFG32.CPL"

Thanks for your suggestions, both entries didn't work :/

Mail or E-Mail usually works - you dont have to supply the whole text.

Hi Christoph
agreed, "usually"... :/

[Frank Schifferstein]

Hi Christoph

 

mostly same here: OS is English language, switching to German (display) language, Office is German language too. Set "E-Mail" (or mail) only, not showing up in CP at all -> bummer

I've read some issue on this, a mentioned workaround would be launching the CPL manually . Well, this is not a solution (anyways), users are not allowed to access the server's drives.
