Where can I find a description of all the ICONS in Outlook?

There are many icons in Outlook - for example, the ENVELOPE icons that appear
in the Inbox Window. What are they telling me? There are envelopes with
purple arrows pointing left; blue arrows pointing right; to name just two. I
have looked "everywhere" for a general "roster" of icons, but can find none.
I'm sure they're right in front of me...

Thanks for you help!

Do you know how I can retrieve the reply and forward arrows that show on the
envelopes in my inbox. I used to have them, but now they have disappeared.
Please help.

What type of email account do you have? They won't work on hotmail accounts
and possibly some IMAP accounts.

That's the application you're using, not your account type. Your answer
should be one of "POP/SMTP", "Exchange", "IMAP", ot "HTML"
