     In case it's relevant, I'm using Windows 11 (not 10 as implied by the   
   newsgroup).

     In Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items, I have "Mail (Microsoft   
   Outlook)" (not "32-bit"). When I open that, I get a small popup named   
   'Mail' which has only one tab named 'General', which says 'The following   
   profiles are set up on this computer:' with an empty box below it, i.e.   
   there is no profile to change/delete.   
      
     I think this is about the old style Outlook *program*, instead of the   
   'new Outlook' *app*, I'm talking about.   
      
     As others have mentioned, there a lot of products named 'Outlook' and   
   - especially for a non-user - it's hard to tell which is which.   
      
     But don't worry about my 'problem'. It isn't a problem and it's not in   
   my way, it's just weird, that's all.
