I did it and sending e-mails + Facebook started working! Thank you!
I'm still struggling to fix the Flash and the general slowness of the OS... I'm downloading Lubuntu now to see if it's faster. I'm not sure if it's about the hardware requirements though - output of "top":

For Flash I have no idea how to proceed. Flash screens in Youtube etc. still freeze when trying to load them. I tried all the solutions here except for #4, because I couldn't figure how to add/change a line with the editing program.
1. Restart your web browser and try the flash test page again
... ...
3. Install the
alsa-oss package.
4. If you are using Firefox, edit the Firefox rc script and add or change the line FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"
Code:
sudo nano /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
Here someone suggested that...
There is a known bug with Nvidia cards and hardware acceleration with the latest version of flash. If this is your situation you can try right clicking and disabling it in the flash settings. If that fails then have a look in the Multimedia & Video section of these forums. There are quiet a few threads about it with a few different solutions on the first page.
I have an Nvidia card, but I don't know how to find the flash settings. At least in the browser (Firefox) settings I see nothing like that. I'm using the Nvidia proprietary drivers.
