Right click the menu bar (above), select Customize Command Bar (bottom of list), select Add or Remove Commands. This brings up a screen where you can add the icons you wish. I also have an envelope icon in the Taskbar of the screen. I find this easier to use.

Hope that helps

I didn't think any version of Vista came with Outlook Express. I am sure it was replaced with Windows Mail. It is in the Premium version

Just type windows mail in the search box and off you go.

Windows Mail is the successor to Outlook Express

Windows Mail builds on the foundation of Outlook Express, adding a variety of new features designed to make your e-mail experience more productive and fun, while helping to reduce risks and annoyances such as phishing and junk e-mail.

Getting started

If you're upgrading from Outlook Express, Windows Mail can import your existing account information and e-mail addresses. The first time you start Windows Mail, you will be prompted to set up an e-mail account. If you skip this step and want to set up a new account later, click the Tools menu, click Accounts, and then click Add.

In addition to sending and receiving e-mail, you can use Windows Mail to read newsgroups, which are Internet discussion forums where groups of people gather to talk about common interests. To participate in a newsgroup (you can send a message or just read what other people are talking about), click Microsoft Communities in the folder pane. You can choose from a variety of newsgroups devoted to Windows and other Microsoft products.

To get help using Windows Mail, click the Help menu, and then click View Help. You can also get help from other Windows Mail users in the [URL="news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail"]microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail[/URL] newsgroup.

Windows Live Mail has replaced Windows Mail. That is the email programme that I use.
