And if push comes to shove, one should be able to open a command prompt and
type:

control "c:\program files\micorsoft office\office12\mlcfg32.cpl"

How is this accomplished? I have looked for the Mail applet in Control
Panel
with no luck, and most posts regarding its diapperance apply to 64-bit
OS.

Where in Control Panel are you looking? Have you tried a classic view?
It's there. I have Windows 7 32-bit anf the Mail applet is definitely
available.
