I deleted my MAIL app on my phone. I didn't mean too but it's the only access to email that I have. How can I get that app back?

I had a number of apps disappear from my iPhone 6 running 10.3.2 after updating a couple of apps. I have been able to reinstall most of them but can't find the email app that comes with the iphone. I checked in the App store and none of those that come up appear to be the standard/stock email that comes with the iphone. How do I find it and reinstall?

That would be in Settings / Mail / Accounts. Since you deleted and later reinstalled the Mail app that accesses the accounts, it may be best to delete and recreate all pertinent accounts to make sure Mail picks them up correctly, instead of hoping it figures out which is what from the mess leftover from its previous instance. Note that the Delete Account control in all but the AppleID/iCloud account does not delete it from the provider, just deletes its info from the phone settings and can be recreated by redoing the Add New Account. As for the iCloud account, it may help to sign out and back in again.
