Electronic communication has upset me — trouble follows (5)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

5

1-4

email

'electronic communication' is the definition.
(email is a kind of electronic communication)

'upset me trouble follows' is the wordplay.
'upset' says the letters should be written backwards.
'trouble' becomes 'ail' (synonyms).
'follows' says to put letters next to each other.
'me' backwards is 'em'.
'em'+'ail'='EMAIL'

'has' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for email that I've seen before include "Post" , "Message sent via computer" , "Digital message" , "Spam perhaps" , "Electronic message" .)
