I uninstalled Windows Mail a while back. Instead of an actual Vista install
disk, I have a Toshiba ghost image. How can I reinstall Windows Mail?

It is not possible to uninstall Windows Mail. It is part of the Vista operating
system (OS). Your ghost image should include Windows Mail.

It is no longer on my computer. If it's not uninstalled and is not in the
start menu or anywhere else, where can I find it?

Also, if I use ghost image, my data will be overwritten.

Can you navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe?
If yes, right-click on that file and have it put a shortcut on your desktop.

============================
Go to...Start / Search...and
enter> winmail.exe
press...Enter.

If Windows Mail is on your system...
this should launch it.

And it may be worth a try to install:
