If Windows 7 is 64 bit, you will need to enable 32 bit .cpl. Then you will
see the mail applet.

| Brian,
| Can you tell me where this Mail Applet is in the Conrol Panel in
| Windows 7? My "Show folder as an e-mail address book" is greyed out
| (not active) and think this is the problem not being able to import
| addresses into a Word Mail merge.
| Thanks, Bob
