It's hard to advise anything without knowing which version of Outlook you
have, which mail account type you are using and what you've done to come
at this point.

How do I get the mail setup icon back in my Control Panel
Assuming that you've already installed Outlook, it sounds like you are
using a 64-bit version of Vista. In that case, your Mail applet is in the
32bit Control Panel Items section of Control Panel.
See http://www.msoutlook.info/question/123

so I can import my *.pst file?
Don't import a pst-file to restore but connect to it directly via;
File- Open- Outlook Data File...

For proper backup and restore instructions see;

Just picked up a new computer with Windblows Vista and Im this close to
scrubbing in favor of Linux. But for some reason I like to keep 10 years
of emails in readable format and I still like Quicken_ing.

How do I get the mail setup icon back in my Control Panel so I can import
my *.pst file?

Thanks,
Martin
