Outlook 2007 Menu Items Visible Property

[Bruce]

Can you please help me out. I need help with trying to set visible
property to True within Outlook 2007 Menu Items which appear to be hidden.

Using VBA, I am able to set visible property from true to
false and false to true with Outlook 2007 Menu Item
Tools-->Send & Receive (ID 31125).

But, I am not able to set visible property of Outlook 2007 Menu Item
Tools-->Microsoft Mail Tools (ID 31131).

It appears when Menu Item Commands Visible Property is set to false (out
of the box from Microsoft), it's impossible to set visible property to true
to enable Menu Item to display on menu. Maybe these menu items are protected
in some way so properties can not be changed.

Thanks,

Do you have MS Mail installed? That CommandBarPop can only be made visible
if MS Mail is running as a service in Outlook. It's only useful with MS Mail
and that's really obsolete, so the odds are it isn't installed.

Thanks Ken, No I don't have MS Mail installed. So your reply answers my
question. I guess I don't understand why CommandBarPop's are included by
default when they depend on specific services to be installed. Seems like
CommandBarPops shoud be added only after service installation is performed.

Then adding a service would have to modify Outlook, no? If the service isn't
there (for MS Mail) that popup can't be made visible. Pretty simple.
