Having failed to access a website I was invited to 'refresh' the computer. This took about 5 minutes and when it had finished I discovered that several applications had been removed and the e-mail icon had disappeared. Is there a way to get this back please?

There are no emails left on my computer and I am unable to send any out as they all stay in my outbox and I get messages saying that my settings are out of date. What can I do to activate my emails again.
