I found it by searching settings for envelope.
Good luck!

Is Outlook running while you’re expecting new mail alerts? If yes, open Outlook and go to File > Options > Mail, then under Message arrival, check “Show an envelope icon in the taskbar.” Also, in Windows Settings > System > Notifications, make sure Outlook notifications are turned on.
If the icon still doesn’t show, go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar corner overflow, and turn on Outlook.
