Hi,
Out of the blue the tools button has disappeared. Have tried the usual right
click in toolbar, choosing 'customise', however there is no TOOLS button
under 'Available toolbar buttoms' . Same thing with the 'MESSAGE' button that
is normally part of the toolbar selection. Totally disappeared. I still have
some buttons on the toolbar - 'CREATE MAIL', ' SEND/RECV', 'ADDRESSES' etc.
Obviously the 'TOOLS' button is fairly critical as you can't make changes to
options etc without it. I can't recall if OE has a 'FILE' button also, but
definitely do not have one now either.

Any help please.
 
I have Outlook 2007. On mine, the "Address" "send/recv" etc are a row below
the "file" "Tools" "edit" etc. You may have accidently collapsed the row
instead of removed a few specific things.

Something else I can't tell if you've tried. When you do the right click,
"Customize" you described. those options won't be under the "toolbars" tab
but actually under the "commands" tab. So try it again but, click over to
"Commands" and you should be able to find what your looking for on there.

hope this helps.
