  <p>Note how all my options with a filter of "1" show are the items that appear in that list.  My guess is you're missing the "Email" record.</p>
  
  <p>I don't know why - and that would concern me, because who knows what else is missing?  That said, you can fix this problem by inserting a row in the <code>civicrm_option_value</code> table for email.  The values may be slightly different for you than me (the <code>option_group_id</code> isn't always the same) but you should be able to figure out the values easily enough by looking at the values that are present in the database.</p>

Answers.Text: Go to **Administer menu » System Settings » Option Groups**.  Select "Options" next to "contact_edit_options".  Do you see anything unusual?  Maybe those items aren't marked as "active"?

  The email, first and last name fields were disabled, but I re-enabled them. Then went to Administer > Customize Data and Screens > Display Preferences and checked Email, First and Last Name.

Body: <p>I have created a drupal civicrm site using version 4.7.14 and noticed for some reason when editing a contact I don't have the option to edit the contact's email address nor do I have the option to add an email. I can't even find the contact's email when viewing their contact info. Normally the email is found above "website" and below "source". I'm missing this necessary field. I have created multiple drupal civicrm sites before and I have never encountered this problem until now, is it possible that because I installed the latest Civicrm version this might be a bug?

  I looked at the code and can tell you what you're missing, but not why.
  Run the following SQL statement on your CiviCRM database:
  SELECT cov.* FROM civicrm_option_value cov JOIN civicrm_option_group cog ON cov.option_group_id = cog.id WHERE cog.name = "contact_edit_options";
  
  You should get a result that looks like:
  +-----+-----------------+---------------------------+-------+--------------------------+----------+--------+------------+--------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-----------+--------------+-----------+---------------+------+-------+

  Note how all my options with a filter of "1" show are the items that appear in that list.  My guess is you're missing the "Email" record.
  I don't know why - and that would concern me, because who knows what else is missing?  That said, you can fix this problem by inserting a row in the civicrm_option_value table for email.  The values may be slightly different for you than me (the option_group_id isn't always the same) but you should be able to figure out the values easily enough by looking at the values that are present in the database.

  It may be possible that `email` field is disabled from your Display Preferences. You can find this on `Administer -> Customize Data and Screens -> Display Preferences`.
  
  Make sure `Email` field is checked `TRUE` on `Contact Details` Column of `Editing Contact` Section.

  > **Comments:**
  > **username_0**: I have tried that and I don't see the Email field at all. All I see under contact details is phone, instant messenger, open ID, and website.
