Try this:
IF Microsoft Outlook is not automatically set as the Default E-mail
client from within Outlook after being installed, do this:
Part #1.
1) Open Outlook.
2) Click on "Tools" in MenuBar.
3) Click on "Options" from list.
4) Click on "Other" tab.
5) Make sure a check-mark is beside "Make Outlook the default client
for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar."
6) Click on "Apply", then "Ok".
If you do Part #1 and Outlook still doesn't show up on the Start Menu,
Do Part #2 also.
Part #2.
1) Right-click on the Start Menu Orb.
2) Choose "Properties" from the popup menu.
3) Click on the "Start Menu" tab.
4) Make sure the "Start Menu" radio button is selected.
5) Click on the "Customize" button.
6) At the bottom of the page, under "Show on Start Menu", make sure
you have "Microsoft Outlook" selected from the drop-down menu for
"E-mail links".
7) Click on "Apply", then "Ok".
If neither works, you may have to reinstall Office, or uninstall your
other email clients.
