Try a battery pull to see if those come back. Also click the menu button, then show all and see if the personal email setup icons shows up. If not, reload your os.

what about the missing wi-fi option on BOLD?

is it because of the IT Policy? the BB concerned is a MTS (russian operator) and the somehow remove wi-fi option from Manage Connections menu.

how can I use wi-fi? is there a way?

many thanks in advance

therefore I thought that wi-fi was hidden by the phone company, but the hardware for wi-fi is there.

remember there is a how-to on showing the BBMaps which is sometime hidden by some operators. (on this device it is hidden as well by the way)

I think it is a similar situation here.

can you tell me what to look for when editing LBS.alx in order to have the wi-fi option appear?

I can't tell you that, because in all of my experience with the Bold and helping other users here, I have never ever never seen the WiFi hidden or removed from use. As far as I know, there is not a way to remove it, except for possibly via an old corproate IT Policy.

Look at Options > Security > General Settings > scroll to the bottom at **services** do you have anything listed there as a policy name?

If you goto options and scroll to the very bottom there should be an option for WIFI connections. If not then I would take it back and get a refund.

this is a limitation by the the carrier (MTS and BeeLine, Russia).
the device is not faulty, but I need to switch the feature on somehow.

I believe they have done this in order to make their customers pay more while using data, not wi-fi
