What happened to my emails??

Hello,

I converted 7 leads into opportunities today. On the leads section I had listed the company 
email address and when I converted the lead into an opportunity there is no email 
section on the layout.

Did I lose all of the emails that I had previously put into the lead?

If so, that's horrible. Now I have to call those 7 contacts again and get the email 
address and then add it as a note to the opportunity so that it doesn't get erased.

Worst part is, it makes my company look unprofessional when I have to call back
and apologize and ask for the email all over again.

Please help. Is there anyway to retrieve the emails or can we add the Email field 
to the Opportunity page layout and will it show the email I had previously entered
before I converted??
