The Send button is meaningless in a browser window, so it won't appear there; similarly, it is meaningless in a mail/news listing, so it doesn't appear there, either (but the mail/news listing does have compose, reply, and other appropriate buttons). The Send button only appears in a mail composition window (CTRL-M to begin a new message, CTRL-R to reply, etc.).

AFAIK the Start button is a Windows feature, not a SeaMonkey feature. I suppose the Personal toolbar must be one you assembled yourself from available buttons, so if you haven't done so, it would be empty. Paul, I'm wondering if the OP, jingo, is using webmail (gmail, yahoomail, whatever) and is not seeing the send button on the webmail page. Could it be that he does not have javascript enabled and the Send button is some sort of script?? Or, maybe, the Send button comes from another site and the OP, jingo, has set the Image Acceptance Policy, at Edit-Preferences-Privacy Security-Images, to Only load images that come from the originating server.
