    It shouldn't be that hard to get it back, but we need some more information in order to help you.

    For starters, what distribution are you using? Do you know if you are using Gnome or KDE?

    Try right-clicking your panel, and select "Add to Panel" from the popup menu. Then select "Indicator Applet", and click "Add". Does that bring back the volume control and mail icon?

    I believe that Skype puts its notifier in the normal system tray, so to get it back you should add the applet "Notification Area" to your panel in the same way as you added the indicator applet, and then restart Skype.

    Hmm, I guess the volume control wasn't included in that applet before Ubuntu 10.04.

    In that case, can you try pressing Alt+F2 to bring up a "run application"-dialog, and then enter this command:
    1. gnome-volume-control-applet

    That should add a volume control to your notification area. If it does, you can go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications in your menu in order to make the volume control show up automatically when you login.


    [EDIT]
    Oh, I see, so it did work.

    I'm glad I could be of assistance :)
