As mentioned earlier, it's a menu because Microsoft wanted one button for all of the account settings and Exchange has more options to include. Many users wonder "what is the point of this menu". With only POP3, Outlook Connector, or IMAP accounts in the profile, the menu is smaller. (The additional options on the Exchange account menu is the reason why the button is a menu and not a button that opens the accounts dialog directly.) The Expanded menu blends into the dialog, even when it's the larger Exchange account menu. Notice the tiny arrow on the Account Settings button in the File screen? It indicates the menu expands. The problem is that is easily overlooked because it blends into the page so well, especially when you don't have an Exchange account in your profile. Outlook 2010 adds a bit of confusion for users trying to access Account Settings: you need to go to File, Account Settings and the select the account settings from a flyout menu.
