All e-mail in one of my accounts after 2/25 is not viewable -- although it was working last night.

This morning I can't view any e-mail received after 2/25. It was working last night, and I was able to read all e-mail in that account. I have re-stared T-bird, and then I also rebooted. Neither worked.

That fixed the problem!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!

How do I move all my files from one User Profile (account) into another? I needed to create a new account and want all of my files accessible in the new one.

ok, what you're learning right now is 101 unix, which is good. Unix is a good thing
now: the way unix works, and macos (which uses unix underneath) the files and folders work like a hierarchy.
the start of that tree is /
so, if you were to do:
cd /
(cd means change directory)
it will bring you at the highest branch of the file system.
cd /Users
will bring you to where all the users are.
to see whats in /Users you can use your friend ls command
ls means list files/directories
so:
cd /Users
ls -la
(the -la here means show all (even hidden) and long format (very verbose)) this flag is very optional.
you will see
fred
user2
for example.
if you want to see the desktop of user2 you would change directory to it then list the files.
for example:
cd /Users/user2/Desktop
Note that the files and directory are case sensitive, so, desktop is NOT the same as Desktop, or DESKTOP
ls -la
you should then be able to see everything in users2 desktop
you could have done as well the same thing in smaller steps, for example:
cd /
cd Users
cd user2
cd Desktop
this is the equivalent of cd /Users/user2/Desktop
So, for your file, i don't know where it was, but know that if you log in as user2, it will directly put you in
/Users/user2
which most likely the file you had created from the other user was in /Users/user1
if you copied all the files from /Users/original_user to /Users/secondUser
most likely yes, all your mail, bookmarks etc would be copied over.
so in your case.
sudo chown -R seconduser:staff /Users/secondUser
should work
Remember that if you start a path with the character / it means start from the root of the file system, at the highest top you can ever get.
so
cd /Users/fred
is not the same as
cd Users/fred
unless you were in / already
i know it may be confusing at first but it's actually very logical if you play with it.
to simplify, think of it that / means C:\ on windows
you can't go any higher than C:\ (in a way)
if you're unsure which directory you're currently in, you can always type:
pwd
it will tell you where you are.
for example:
cd /
pwd
this shows /
cd Users
pwd
this now shows /Users
cd /System/Library
pwd will show /System/Library
cd /
cd /Users
cd fred
cd Library
pwd will show /Users/fred/Library
unix can look very scary but it's actually vital and very necessary to do tasks sometimes that would take for ever to do via the windows. This is good learning.
so for the myfile you had created, i can't tell you where it is, at the time you created, if you can do a pwd command you'll know the path,
ls -la (this shows all the files where you are)
if you see myfile in the list
do a pwd
whatever is return, the real location of the file would be:
whatever pwd returned / myfile
I hope that makes sense.

My iphone 5 was stolen last night. It is offline and I am trying to track it. When I use Icloud, it just tells me the phone is offline, which is not helpful at all.

My iphone5 was stolen last night. It is offline and I am trying to track it. Icloud states that it will show a grey circle if it is offline and a green one if it is online. It is offline and it will display nothing except a picture of a phone indicating that it is offline. Not helpful at all. Any suggestions on how to locate the phone or at least the losers who stole it from my pocketbook.

Actually it is very helpful. First it tells you that two possible scenarios happened.
1. iphone ran out of battery.
2. iphone was stolen by someone who knows how to disable connection to service (just by turning it off or otherwise)
Second is more likely if you went to icloud.com fast enough. In that case we pretty soon are going to see another person here asking Apple to unlock "legitimately" purchased phone from eBay or pawn shop. And in that case recovery of your phone is very unlikely. So go report it to police to increase chances of recovery, just in case they turn up in legit pawn shop and move on. Good luck.

My iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?

You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.

This morning I cannot open the mail Icon. It worked last night. What happened?

This morning I cannot open the mail Icon. It worked last night.

I'd first recommend restarting your computer before taking the steps below.
Click the Finder icon on the left side of the Dock to open a new Finder window (if no new window appears, select New Finder Window from Finder's File menu).
Select Applications from the left sidebar.
Locate Mail inside of Applications and double-click the icon to launch Mail.
If this doesn't work, could you provide some more information as to how you're opening the application and what you're seeing?

What do you mean it did not work! What were the results of the diagnostic tests?
Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?
Have you changed your router channel? Sometimes this resolves wireless problems.

All the mail from my 3 different accounts appears in one INBOX!!

I have a mobile me email account, along with 2 external POP accounts from my own domain, I added them both, and everything works fine, I can send and receive mail, sent folder is OK, drafts, etc. But the thing is that all new mail arrives to my mobile me Inbox, instead of arriving to external account Inbox. This causes a mess, since my mobile me account is personal, and the other POP accounts are from my job. And one more thing, if I try to read my new mail from the external accounts via Safari, it does display anything, it's like my mobile me account is dragging all my messages, Any help on this one, please?

Hi Manuel
Unless you yourself have set up forwarding from your POP accounts to MobileMe, there is no connection whatsoever between those email accounts.
Click on the small triangle to the left of the Inbox in Mail - it will separate out into your three different account inboxes.
And it sounds like you have set your POP accounts to delete mail from the server once you've received it in Mail. In your Mail account preferences, go to Advanced, and change the Delete from Server option if you also want to see the same messages in webmail.

Is it safe to disable outgoing mail from one of my accounts?I

I have two e-mail accounts, but want to eventually stop using one of the accounts and use my gmail account full time.
Sometimes when I send e-mail it will use my old e-mail address as the sending address. I want to cease using the old e-mail address to send mail so it will decrease people replying to and using the old address.
How can I stop that address from being used for outgoing mails? Can I change to "None" for Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), or will that create problems for me?

Hi & welcome to the forums!
See if this from Mail>Help... helps...
"Setting the account your email is sent from
If you have multiple email accounts, *you can choose to send all messages from the same account*, or you can select a different account for each message you send.
To choose an account from which to send all messages, choose Mail > Preferences. Click Composing and choose the account from the "Send new mail from" pop-up menu. By default, messages are sent from the account of the last viewed mailbox.
To choose an account for a message you're composing, click the Account pop-up menu and choose an account.
If the Account pop-up menu is not displayed, click the Customize Header pop-up menu in the header area and choose Customize. Select the checkbox next to Account and then click OK.
To change the order in which accounts are listed in the mailbox list, drag the account mailboxes into the order you want in your Inbox. You can also rearrange the account order in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences."

Mail suddenly stops retrieving mail for one of 4 accounts

I'm in the middle of a project, getting a steady stream of e-mails to a particular account, when sometime last night Apple Mail stopped retrieving my mail from Comcast for that account.
I logged into Comcast, my mail is sitting there, but the Apple Mail client isn't picking it up. (The other 3 accounts, which are set up identically on Comcast and in Apple Mail Preferences, continue to work normally.)
Re-entered the password in Mail Preferences for that account, it still doesn't work.
Closed and opened Mail, no go for that account. Restarted my Mac, no fix for this Mail glitch.
Thinking that I would have to delete it, I emptied the Inbox and Sent mail for the bad account (moved the mail to mailboxes on my Mac).

I tried to rebuild the mailbox in question, NOTHING HAPPENED. Absolutely nothing showed up in the Activity window.
What now? I am prepared to delete and re-establish that one account in Apple Mail, but I want to lose a minimum of data. I definitely do not want to blow away the other accounts and mailboxes!

Forwarding all Apple mail individually to a Gmail account?

How can I forward all Apple Mail messages individually?
If I select all messages and go to forward, they all get forwarded in one huge email.
I just want to forward each message individually to my Gmail account, but not do it one message at a time.

Hi there,
Not really an exact answer to your question, but I think this will help you back up or make things available via Gmail if that is your goal.
Mozilla Firefox web browser has the ability to have extensions installed, one of these is called Gmail Space. This enables you to upload any files from your computer (Mac and Windows versions available) to your Gmail account area(2Gb as standard).It has a simple drag and drop interface, similar to FTP software.

I am not getting mail into one of my accounts

I can see all my mail on the server when I "Get Account Info". But when I click Get Mail" it shows the exact number of emails I have on the server but it does not download any mail. Can anyone help?

You didn't include any details regarding your email configuration and what, if anything, you already did to troubleshoot the problem. Without that info, helping you is impossible.

Mail wants to create new account after crash

so, i ran out of batteries and my laptop just died. power attached, restart, my firefox session is there with all windows intact, but when i start up mail, it gives me the "welcome to mail" create account wizard. HELP! of course i know all my mail is there mel>library>mail, but how do i just 'bypass' this wizard to find my mail again?

Greetings,
how do i just 'bypass' this wizard to find my mail again?
You can't. Because you let your battery die (never a good idea), your mail preferences file is now corrupt and doesn't know you have any mail accounts. So you need to do this:
If all your mail accounts are POP:
1. Quit Mail.
2. Go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.mail.plist file.
3. Restart Mail and setup your account(s) again; Mail will automatically find your existing mailboxes.
If any or all of your accounts are IMAP:
Do steps 1 and 2 above.
3. Go to Home/Library/Mail and remove each mailbox beginning with "IMAP-".
4. Restart Mail, setup your accounts again, and wait for Mail to download your IMAP mail again.
In either case, check to be sure Mail is working properly again after the last step; if so, you can delete the IMAP folders on your Desktop and empty the Trash.

How do I get incoming mail in one of my mailboxes unstuck. It will not download any mail in one box but the other mailbox works fine

How do I get incoming mail in one of my mailboxes unstuck?? It is trying to download it but seems jammed. The other mailbox is working fine. I know there is mail there because it is coming into my bb. This just started this morning. I took someone's suggestion and duplicated my mail from the library and I then put com.apple.mail.plist on my desktop. I was unable to delete the incoming mail from the mailbox however so don't know what to do.
Help?

Try this: If this is Apple Mail, select the Mailbox, then from the Mail Menu>Mailbox>Rebuild.

Why do i send mails on one of my accounts but the reply comes back to another account all in mail

when ever i send a mail from my buisness mail account and i get a reply, the message comes back to my personal account even though it doesnt show on the recipients mail. but when they click to reply it is sent back to my other account. there must be somewhere in the settings but i cant find it. can anybody shed light on this????

Have you run Connection Doctor? Click on Window in the menubar, choose Connection Doctor. If that indicates it connect to your ISP provided SMTP, and without Login, then it means that the Authentication of the SMTP should be set to None, and no Username and Password needed. Many times with cable ISPs, the SMTP is actually authenticated based upon the IP address of the modem there provide you, and attempting to use Password authentication will result in failure. Mail is different in this regard as it will not negotiate this, but requires your attention to it.
If Connection Doctor cannot connect, then more info is needed.
