    @james stone thank you. I was equally surprised, and annoyed. On my version, it says 'show user photographs..'. The obvious thing for MS to do is allow users to right click on the photo to remove it.

    I just purchased Office 2016 and sent a routine email to a recruiter. To my great surprise, my skype photo was attached to the email. To remove the photo do this: (1) open Outlook, (2) click on file tab, (3) choose options, (4) select 'people', (5) and uncheck the box that says attach photo. Solution was given by a very helpful Microsoft tech support person. Hope this helps..was very frustrating!

An Outlook mail profile is a combination of settings and files to support the configured accounts. A single mail profile can contain multiple mail accounts and different account types such as POP3, IMAP, Exchange and Outlook.com accounts.

However, in some cases it might be recommended or required to create an additional Mail Profile or to recreate the current one.

Need for an additional mail profile or recreating it

Common reasons to add or recreate a mail profile are;

  • The current mail profile is damaged.
  • You upgraded/downgraded to another Outlook version (recommended and sometimes needed).
  • To create separate Outlook working environments such as Work and Private.
  • Need to connect to separate Exchange environments with Delegate mailboxes (as only your first Exchange mailbox supports Delegate mailboxes).
  • Separately manage an additional Exchange mailbox for which you have Full Access rights (for rules, Automatic Replies, and Delegate access management).
  • Testing.

Mail applet location

Mail Profiles can be managed via the Mail applet in Control Panel. There are various methods to open it.

Method 1: Control Panel
When you are using the Control Panel is in the classic layout, you should see the Mail applet directly in the list of icons.

How

When you are using the Control Panel in the Category View, you can find the Mail applet in the following category:

  • Windows 7: User Accounts and Family Safety
  • Windows 8: User Accounts and Family Safety
  • Windows 10: User Accounts

Windows 10
Make sure you open Control Panel and not the Settings app.

Method 2: Outlook 2016, 2019 and Microsoft 365
When you are using Outlook 2016 (not the MSI version), Outlook 2019 or Outlook as part of an Microsoft 365 subscription, you can also the Mail applet from within Outlook via;

  • File-> Account Settings-> Manage Profiles

Method 3: manageprofiles command line switch
Another way to open the the Mail applet is by using the managemailprofiles switch. This requires Outlook 2016 (not the MSI version), Outlook 2019 or Outlook as part of an Microsoft 365 subscription.

  • Start-> type; outlook.exe /manageprofiles


There are various ways to open the Mail applet.

(Re)creating a mail profile

Once you’ve located and opened the Mail applet, you can recreate your mail profile via the following steps:

  1. Press the button Add…
    • Do NOT use Copy… not even when you want to recreate your mail profile or you’ll end up copying the corruption as well.
    • Do NOT delete your old profile, not even when it is corrupted, before you’ve verified that the new one works. You might want to lookup some account settings afterwards.
  2. Enter a name for your new Mail Profile.
  3. Fill out the Auto Account Setup dialog or select to configure the account manually.
    • When using Auto Account Setup, Outlook will try to determine and configure your account automatically. If this fails you can still choose to configure it manually with the information provided by your ISP.
    • When you use the manual configuration, make sure you choose the correct account type. Ask your ISP or administrator if you do not know this.
    • When you want to use POP3 or IMAP and are using Outlook.com (Hotmail), Gmail, Microsoft 365, Yahoo, or iCloud, you can find the settings you need here.
    • Important!
      Outlook 2016, Outlook 2019, and Microsoft 365 do not support manual configuration of an Exchange account. You must use Auto Account Setup. Your settings will be received via AutoDiscover.
  4. Follow on-screen instructions to (further) configure your account. Again; Ask your ISP or administrator if you do not know these details.
