Mail not showing up in secondary user account mail app

After buying a new macbook pro, I migrated my data from my Air to this new machine (after setting up my new system) and the Pro created a new user account to handle this. The problem is, the migrated user and its data are what I want the primary account to be. Everything works as normal as though it is, with the annoying exception of my mail app. The first account set up with this new machine is the only one that receives any of my emails to the mail app.
A few things to note:
I have verified that the migrated account (ie. the account I WANT as the primary user account for access to my emails via the mail app) has all the same email user settings as the other user account on the machine (the one I don't use as my primary).
Also, I have pretty decent knowledge of what I'm doing and am beating my head against the wall trying to figure out the problem.
Thinking of deleting the user account that was created when I first purchased this macbook Pro, but unsure if that will allow the account I want to use to be able to magically access my new emails coming in. For now, if I want to read any of my new incoming emails, I have to log off my primary user account and log into the other one I don't use. VERY annoying. Any help? Thanks

If you want to see Macintosh HD on the Desktop and you don't see it, that's because you have to turn on this feature. Open the Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and mark "Hard disks".
Another way of seeing it is through Finder's sidebar. Open a Finder window, and Macintosh HD will appear on the Finder sidebar, under "Devices". If you don't see it there, open the Finder menu > Preferences > Sidebar, and mark "Hard disks"

Buddy not showing online on one user account

I have multiple user accounts on one IMac. One buddy shows up as always offline on one account but shows up as online on the other accounts (the buddy is online). I've checked and rechecked the AIM account name and it is correct and identical to the one on the account that is working. Any ideas on what could be the problem?
Thanks

Hello Ralph,
I've really got myself confused and hope you can help.
iChat has been working flawlessly for me - iMac 20" Duo OS X10.5.2. Have a friend in NY with an AIM account running OS X10.4.11 but though we can see each other, I cannot hear her - she can hear me. However, when I went to my iMac PPC G4 running OS X10.4.11, we can both hear and see each other perfectly.
I have another friend in Berkeley with an iMac Duo OS X10.5.2 and we can iChat perfectly. But when she tried to chat with our friend in NY running Tiger, same thing - Berkeley can see NY but not hear her. Again, the NY person can hear both of us but we cannot hear her.
But when I go to my iMac G4 and try to chat with my Berkeley friend running OS X10.5.2, she appears offline. The only way to get her to appear online is to have her change her security setting to allow anyone. As soon as she does this, I can see her come online and we can chat. But, I appear offline to her even when I change my security setting to allow anyone. We could still chat though. We tried using the allow specific people, but that did not work either.
Now I run back upstairs to my iMac Duo, and sure enough, Berkeley and I can see each other online and chat just fine as usual.
The problem seems to be with trying to chat with someone running Tiger and the other(s) running Leopard. Perhaps something else? Changed Quicktime to 1.5, but did not fix the problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ralph.

Safari main window not showing up in my user account when launched

Safari main window is not showing up when launched in my user account.
For some unknown reason, there must be a bug with Space and Safari as when I switch from Space 1 to Space 2 (and vice versa) I can see the Safari main window for less than 1 sec but could not fix it to show up and stay in the foreground in any of the 4 Spaces areas.
I have tried to desactivate Space or change some settings in Space but could not fix the issue.
Last but not least, Safari is working well for all other user accounts on my Mac.
I have updgraded my OS to 10.5.7 and Safari v4 last patch but I have the same issue for 1 month

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try deleting this file. com.apple.safari.plist
/Users/YourName/Libary/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac. See if that helps...

HD icon not showing up in "test" user account

Hi All,
I recently had problems with my MBP hard drive, which ultimately failed. I have since replaced it with a new 750 GB (7200 RPM) drive.
I decided to create a "test" user account with admin privileges for troubleshooting purposes.
However when I log in to this test account, the Macintosh HD icon is nowhere to be seen. I see the application icons in the dock, but no HD icon.
Just now, when I logged out of this test account, I got a solid blue screen (instead of the login screen) and had to force a shut down using the power button.
I have since deleted that account and created a new one with a different name, but still no HD showing up.
Any ideas on what might be going on?

ICloud mail not showing up as "box" on iPhone mail list

I have a me.com address. I have added it as an account on my iPhone. I can log in successfully on my desktop to iCloud to retrieve my mail. I CANNOT however, see a mailbox labeled iCloud in my iOS mail on my iPhone. Can anyone help me figure this out? I've restarted the phone over and over. I shut off Mail and turned it back on several times as well. Please help.
Thanks!

Hi Winston,
Let me clarify...sorry about that. When I go to Settings --> iCloud --> Under my Account name [email protected] there is a list of "Mail, contacts, Calendars, etc" with on/off toggles, I switched Mail to off and then back on again, in hopes that this would reset itself or something. When I return to my Mail application, iCloud doesn't show as one of my Accounts, only my personal Yahoo and my work Exchange account. I cannot figure out why my iCloud mail does not show up there, even though I am logged in under iCloud and i can access it on my desktop.
I appreciate the help.

Why does the verification for e-mail not show up on/in my e-mail - not in spam folder either?

I had the same problem with my iPad. I did what the post above says and it fixed it.
Before I did that my photos weren't showing up in the photo stream but in my FB app if I choose to upload a pic from photo stream they were there. Weird.
and it has worked for me....many many thanks Nikkimc813

HT201317 The photo stream flower icon is not showing up on my icloud account?! Why?

The photo stream flower icon is not showing up on my icloud account. The only icons are Mail, contacts, calendar and iwrok. What can I do??

Basically Apple actually took away the Gallery capability we used to have with me.com when they replaced it with Photo Stream. So there is no way to see on the web, nor send a URL to friends to share the pictures like you used to be able to do with Gallery. To do that, you will need to push those photos to an external service such as Snapfish or Flickr or a social media site.

Apple mail not showing all the messages?

In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

Solved!
This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
I found a solution thanks to this topic:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
Does work brilliantly though!

My audio books that were bought through Itunes on my Iphone do not show up on my Itunes account.

I bought audio books on my iphone, but they do not show up on my itunes account on my computer. The books I purchased through the computer show up on my itunes account. My phone is at it's max and I need to remove these books, but do not want to lose them. Thank you for your assistance.

This isn't completely coherent so I am not sure what is wrong other than some (al?) of your tracks have broken links.
If you are browsing through iTunes you are not looking at files you are looking at data entries that point to files, with those locations being incorrect right now.
There isn't a file called iTunes media, there is a folder that should be in your iTunes folder called that.
You mention something about external drives. I presume one is for your Time Machine backup but is the other one used for iTunes? If so, what do you keep there?

As you connect your ipod to iTunes, an option in the upper right of the screen will appear. When you click this, it will show the different menu for your ipod.

SharePoint 2010 List View Web Part not showing for read-only users?

Hello all,
I have List View Webparts on my Blank Web Part page, and it's not showing for Read-Only users.
Is this intended by Microsoft or is it a bug?
Thank you!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the read only user could not see the list view web part.
Per my knowledge, the issue may be cause that the user do not have the proper permission for the list.
1. Check whether the user can access the list.
2. Check whether the user can view all the items instead of partial items in the list.
3. Check whether there are some fields refer to other lists or terms, especially the lookup field or managed metadata filed.
If that is the case, make sure the user can access the lookup list.
Thanks,
Jason

You've checked the spam folder on your account as well as the inbox, and you don't have any filters/rules on your email account that might be deleting the email ?

Mail not showing up under mail icon

My email is not showing up when I select the mail icon on my phone. Just shows a white or sometimes clear screen. The phone is picking up new mail, when there is new mail the number by the mail icon will change.

What do you mean by mail does not show up? You're not receiving any email? What?
