I have been using Outlook 2010 for a while and one of the interesting part of the new version while using with Win 7 is this interesting icon that gets set with “Large Icons” on the taskbar.
In the recent past, I suddenly did some changes to the settings in my usual play and suddenly found the icon never changed on the taskbar when a new mail arrived. I have been wanting to explore this and I got time today to crack this. What I did – well:
Thatz it, my lovely icon was back :) … I see a lot of queries like these that come my way where the options are hidden. Hope this helps …

I have a similar problem.
My envelope IS showing on the taskbar icon, however my taskbar icon itself has been lost and replaced by the windows 7 generic .png (or .bmp?). this is also true for the start menu and desktop icon. Everything else works fine., it’s just somewhat annoying. Is there any way to restore these?
Managed to work around the issue by removing all the outlook shortcuts and making a series of new ones from scratch. Going to shortcut properties didn’t work as change icon was greyed out.
