No Mail icon in control panel?

This is too weird.
I'm following
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com/servicedesks/webcasts/en/wc091301/wct091301.asp
to troubleshoot why SQLAgentMail does not send notifications on our SQL 2000
server. Looks like I need to logon as the startup user account to get mail
profile configured. But after I logon the SQL server using the startup
domain account that runs both the server and the agent, I don't see any Mail
icon in the control panel. Logging on as other users does not have this
problem.
Any ideas?
BingHave you considered other alternatives?

>Bing|||Yup, you said it right. Looks like Microsoft office outlook was upgraded
from 2000 to 2003 on our SQL server at some point. But the mail
configuration for the SQL service account was not maintained at the same
time. I just went into outlook 2003 and get mail configured for the service
account. SQLAgentMail works fine now. Thanks all who replied.

lot more hair- and teeth-pulling. :-)
