I am missing the icon on my taskbar in mail for sending attachments, and it is not in the customize taskbar part of my mail program. Where did it go, or how do I restore it since it is missing??
Thx,

"The top of the screen" is called the menu bar. It changes, and is based on whichever application is currently selected.
In Mail.app, the attach icon is the paperclip icon that shows in the default icon set of the so-called compse window; when you have requested the creation of a new mail message, or the creation of a reply. In the compose window with the default icons, the attach button is the middle of the five leftmost buttons in the tool bar.
It's quite possible to hide the toolbar entirely (that's controlled from the same pop-up menu as the Customize Toolbar... or can be controlled from the View > Show Toolbar or View > Hide Toolbar within the Mail.app menubar.
To capture an image of the toolbar state (if it's not that the toolbar is hidden, or has been customized), then open Mail.app, create a new (empty) message, and to capture (just) the application display window, press the Command(⌘)-Shift-4 keys as a chord, the cursor will change to a reticule (a cross-hair), place the reticule over the mail application compose window, press the space bar (to highlight the window) and click. This will save a screen shot of just the specified application window into a Screen Shot file (the rest of the name will be the date and time of the screen shot) on your desktop.
Inferring from your references and the terms you are using here, it would appear you might be unfamiliar with OS X and -- if that's the case -- then there's the available Apple Mac 101 introduction that might help clarify the environment.

What version of Mail are you running, and where is it installed? If you're not sure about the latter, right-click the Dock icon and select Options > Show in Finder.
Please post a screenshot of the Customize Toolbar sheet in the message-editing window.
Place the cursor pointer anywhere on the top of the main Mail.app window (or at the top of the message-compose window, if that's what you're customizing) and press and hold the control key while clicking anywhere at the top of the display, and then use the pointer to select and click on Customize Toolbar... from the pop-up menu, and customize the settings to meet your needs.
Mail 5.2, and Mail is in the applications folder. I can open up the custom toolbars ok, but there is no attach icon to add to the toolbar?? should there be, or do you always have to go up to the top of the screen and select add attachment??
Yellowchevy. Thx
The paper-clip icon only appears in the toolbar of a message-editing window. Is that where you're looking for it?
Use the Grab application to take a screenshot, then click the camera icon in a reply box to upload it.
I do not know how to post a screenshot of the Customize Toolbar sheet?? can you tell me and I will try. Thx
