There is also the font "MS Outlook". OUTLOOK.ttf was part of Outlook
97 and had been in circulation for a long time. Maybe it could be
considered as well.

I tried to map the glyphs.

U+F041 = U+1F56D RINGING BELL
U+F042 = U+1F511 KEY
U+F043 = U+1F5D8 CLOCKWISE RIGHT AND LEFT SEMICIRCLE ARROWS
U+F044 = new_codepoint CLOCKWISE RIGHT AND LEFT SEMICIRCLE ARROWS WITH
SOLIDUS
U+F045 = new_codepoint PEOPLE FACING RIGHT
U+F046 = new_codepoint MEETING ROOM (table with three silhouettes) 
U+F047 = U+1F4CE PAPERCLIP
U+F049 = U+1F382 BIRTHDAY CAKE
U+F04A = new_codepoint WAX SEAL (???)
U+F04D = new_codepoint ?????? (glyph has two variants: octagon with two
arrows pointing inthe middle or two crossed pencils)
U+F04E ≈ U+1F4EC OPEN MAILBOX WITH RAISED FLAG (???)
