    Hi Kenny,

    It’s great to know that you are using Windows 8. It seems that you have removed Windows 8 Mail App from your computer by mistake and would like to reinstall it.

    In order to reinstall the Mail App, follow these steps:

    a)       Click on “Store” to open Windows Store App.

    b)       Press “Windows Logo” + “C” keys on the keyboard to open the Charms bar.

    c)       Click on “Search”

    d)       Type “Mail App” in the search box.

    e)       Click on the icon which shows “Mail, Calendar, People and Messaging” from the search result.

    f)        Click on “Install” from the Mail App page.

    For more information, you may refer to this link:

    Did as you instructed and nothing showed up. And by nothing I mean Nothing - O apps, O files no icon for "Mail, Calendar, etc." 

    Windows 8 64-bit

    This is the same issue I have.  I wanted to get rid of "Messaging"  and it whacked my mail too.   Now I can not seem to get it back.   UGH, I can't deploy this to my enterprise, every time I turn around it is something.
