xdg-email error - please help!

Just got my Aspire One the other day (yay boxing day!). The only mods I've done are to activate "advanced mode" and to install some new programs. Now all of a sudden my email client won't work. The problem first manifested itself as the email client being unable to connect when I tried to send/recieve email or update RSS feeds. I closed the client thinking it would fix the problem, but then when I tried to start it from the main menu all I get is the busy cursor and nothing else. Tried restarting the computer to no avail. When I try to start the email client from terminal with "xdg-email" I get the following error:

"Failed to execute child process "/usr/acer/bin/onemail" (No such file or directory)."

The last two things I had done were to install Skype and Pidgin. The only thing I modified for those were that I removed libpurple in order to install Pidgin. Could that be the source of the problem and if so how do I fix it? The only other package I have removes is java-icedtea-plugin, but that should not have anything to do with this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
