Can anyone explain to me how can I get the icon back because I can not use the outlook anymore. Where do I go to reestablish it in the dock?

Hi Seba1972,
If the icon for Outlook has been accidentally removed from the Dock, it should be fairly straightforward to re-add it. The Dock is simply a list of icon shortcuts, so the actual application should still be in its original location (most likely the Applications folder). You should be able to drag Outlook back from the Applications folder or from Launchpad to the Dock, as outlined in the following articles:
Adding and removing Dock items
If you want to add an application to the Dock, click the Launchpad icon in the Dock. Then, drag an app icon from the Launchpad to the Dock. The icons in the Dock move aside to make room for the new item. If you want to add a file or folder to the Dock, just drag its icon from any Finder window (or the desktop) and drop it on the Dock.
To remove an item from the Dock, drag its icon an inch or more off the Dock and wait a couple seconds. Then release the icon and it disappears in a poof of smoke.
Removing an item from the Dock doesn't permanently remove it from your computer. If you want that item back in the Dock, locate the app, file, or folder in the Finder or Launchpad, and simply drag it back into the Dock.

Add or remove Dock items
Add an item: Drag it to the Dock. Drag files and folders to the right of the Dock’s separator, and apps to the left. If you moved the Dock to the side of your desktop, drag files and folders below the separator, and apps above.
When you drag an item to the Dock, an alias to the item is placed in the Dock. The original item isn’t moved.
Remove an item: Drag the item out of the Dock until you see a puff of smoke.
Only the alias is removed from the Dock. The original item isn’t removed from your Mac.
