How do I restore my mail icon?

My phone screen is no longer displaying my mail icon. I don't know what happened. In the Settings section I still see my mail account settings, but I'm no longer able to access my emails. Can you help me get that back on my screen? thank you!

My mail icon and appl had got deleted. i went to manage storage. it showed emails were still the biggest storage item. I clicked on it. It said that your Mail Application is no longer on the phone, will you like to install it via AppStore and gave a link. I clicked on it and the application was downloaded. Before that I tried restoring home page, tried looking for application on App Store or via Spotlight search etc. but that did not work.

It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, try the Utilities folders if you have one. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
