Pop accounts don't show up in mail window

I have one email account that is IMAP and two Pop accounts. The IMAP shows up in the email window but the POPs don't. All showed up before today and no changes have been made. How do i get the POP accounts to show up again?

10.7 or greater, reboot holding CMD+r keys & use Reset Password from there after Repairing Drive with Disk Utility.

Multiple POP accounts: Can I set up separate mail windows

New mac user. I was able to switch identities using Outlook Express on my PC so that multiple users' mail were not downloaded when one user logged on. My desire is to not see other people's email, nor they mine. Is there a way to accomplish this?
lmac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Instead of switching identities in Mail, you do it at the OS X level i.e. create multiple accounts on your computer and use Fast User Switching. Each user of your computer then has their own separate environment for all applications including Mail.
I hope that helps.

Mail imported into INBOX.mbox don't show up in Mail InBox

I had to use another Mac while getting a newer iMAC, and I saved all the mail on that folder, networked the two computers, and dragged the mail into the Library/Mail/pop-server.../INBOX.mbox/Messages.
I can see the messages that I had on the iMAC originally, and now I've dropped in the messages into the same folder. I can open each one individually if I want in that Messages folder, but even after restart, they don't show up in my Mail InBox.
What am I missing?

You’re missing that tinkering with the contents of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder in the Finder is not the same as importing messages into Mail.
Mail 2.x keeps a reference to every message in a file called Envelope Index. You cannot tinker with the contents of ~/Library/Mail/ without taking Envelope Index into consideration and expect that to work. The right way to import mailboxes into Mail is doing File > Import Mailboxes.
That said, you may be able to fix the problem by rebuilding the affected mailbox, i.e. select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.

Pop account to 1&1 IMAP e-mails are deleted each month, but have correct settings.

I have recently changed my pop account to a IMAP account as I was fed up deleting e-mail of each computer. Now I have found that with the IMAP account it deletes my e-mails every month so I can't go back to previous months. But the odd thing is that the mail setting is tick to never and on my 1&1 server its set to the same.
How can I stop this from deleting my e-mail every month? As with the Pop account it just kept all the e-mails I received.? Luckily I didn't change my laptop to a IMAP account, so if I can't stop it deleting my e-mails every month how can I import my e-mails from the laptop which as the pop account with my old e-mails?
Any help would be grateful.
Cheers!

I apologize; I should have mentioned I already tried that, multiple times
It's almost like, since the messages show a qty in the status bar, that their text has been changed to white, the background color. But when i use Search Messages to get at what's there, the text color is black as it should be.
Any further comments welcomed.
Thanks much

New personal mail account doesn't show up in 'Mail' iPhone 4 - 7.1.2

I've just bought an iPhone 4.
I've created a new mail account and the mail icon shows 3 messages.
Touching the 'mail' icon brings up the usual list of mail services but my new account doesn't appear.
In 'Settings' my new account is there.
Why doesn't it show up in the 'Mail' list?
I just can't find out how to access/use this account - the user manual is no help.
Help appreciated
David

Additional info.
The new account is a personal account in my own domain.
'Mail' obviously recognises it as it shows the 3 messages

Mail downloaded from POP account in Gmail appears in Sent mail

I have configured Gmail to download mail from two other POP accounts. I use Mail.app in OS X with IMAP to access my Gmail. I've noticed that when I receive a message from one of my POP accounts, it appears in my inbox but also as an unread message in my Sent mail folder. Why? Is there anything I can do to change this behavior?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The Gmail account is set-up as IMAP. But it does download POP email from other accounts. It's a nice feature and one of the main reasons I just use Gmail now for all email.
I know I could just ignore the issue, but it bothers me to have unread messages in the Sent mailbox. Clutters up the interface.

Google calendar event invites don't show up in Mail. Why?

I use Google calendar and my wife uses Apple Mail and iCal. When I send meeting requests from Google calendar to her, they never arrives in Apple Mail (either in the inbox nor in the junk mail folder). Meeting requests I send her never make it into iCal because she doesn't have the opportunity to either accept or reject them because they don't arrive in Apple Mail. Everyone else I send meeting requests to get them. Why don't they show up in Apple Mail?

Sounds like more of a question for the Mail experts. Once the file is added to the Mail message it's not really anything to do with iPhoto.

Mail accounts are not showing up in Mail

I recently migrated my 2011 MBP to a 2013 MBP. I had Mavericks installed on both computers. Everything works fine except that I can't add other mail accounts. I put in my primary email (a GoDaddy account) and my local cable account (Time Warner). When I added my Exchange, iCloud, and Gmail accounts, I do not get any inboxes for them in Apple Mail. I deleted all the accounts, added them back through either mail prefs or accounts, I deleted plist, I restarted in safe mode and ran diagnostics, yada yada. I only get my GoDaddy and Time Warner inboxes eventhough the accounts pane in system prefs says they're all there. Interestingly, I do get calendar information from my exchange account. Also, these mailboxes are still working perfectly fine on my older laptop. Any ideas?

Hi troxelweb,
This is occurring because the 'Administrators' role does not have permission to 'Manage Email Accounts'. If you're able to, log into the admin console > Site Settings > User Roles > Administrators > Permissions, and assign 'Manage Email Accounts' to this role.
If you can't update the permissions, let me know and I will do this on your behalf.

Sharing Only Accounts don't show in Users & Groups

Hi,
I've done a fresh install of Maverick yesterday.
And I created a "Sharing Only" account so I can access my iMac from another PC (so it doesn't show up at logon time)
When I went back in Users and Groups this morning, my newly "Sharing Only" account had gone.
So I thought I'd forgotten it and tried to create it again: to my surprise at creation time, Mac OS reports: "Name is used by another user", when in fact it's not listed in the left sidebar (I can only see my accout and the guest account)
I tried the same with a "Standard user" and all is fine.
I tried with a second "Sharing Only" account and it disappeared too (after a logoff)
I've found this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4404 but I don't wanna screw up my fresh install
Can anyone help?

here also the same ... totally fresh out of the box Mac Mini with update to 10.9.2 ... create a share only user called "conf_share", add this user to a existing share ... go back to the User & Groups and paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh it's disappear (but still existing of course)
I found this "hint" but this is only usefull if you want to delete this user without going crazy... this hint will convert the sharing only user to a standard user
Just type the following two commands in terminal:
Quit and reopen System preferences and the sharing account will show up:
sudo dscl . create /Users/root GeneratedUID FFFFEEEE-DDDD-CCCC-BBBB-AAAA00000000
and then:
sudo dscl . create /Users/accountname UserShell /bin/bash
Replace "accountname" in the commands above with the missing account name.

Pics don't show up in mail hotmail

Why do I get a blue square with a ? Mark when looking at pics in email off my hotmail account? If I login to my email using safari the pics show up fine! Why can't it do that with the mail app???

The updated info on my Apple Account don't show when I'm trying to purchase an item in the Apple Store

I changed my address and country, since i've moved, in my Apple Id which has been saved and i can see that when i log into my apple account online. But when I go to buy an app in the app store it is still showing the my old info. So i am unable to put in my new billing address and purchase an item. Please help?

Have you changed the payment method and billing address in your account information from the iTunes app on your Mac?

Pop account apparently storing multiple passwords in Mail

On my G5 desktop, when I check my email, I successfully receive all messages, but the mailserv indicates a failed password.(I am in direct voice contact with my mailserv administrator during the test procedures) The same issue does not occur with the same account on my Powerbook. I deleted and reinstalled the account on the G5. I also have a second account with the same provider and it works fine. I deleted the keychain items associated but still have the problem. I noticed that when I did not put the password in the software, and simply responded to the popup askeing for the password, I still got messages, but the number of failed password flags on the mailserv increased each time I responded to the popup. It appears Mail enters some sort of loop to check the mail, sending the correct password and then an incorrect password, or vice versa, in one mail check event.

Thanks for the help. My ISP helped resolve the issue.
For some reason, perhaps a manual adjustment made in error during original setup, the Authentication was set to NTLM instead of MD5 Challenge-Response.
The effect was to seek authentication as NTLM first, creating a "Failed password" error on the ISP operating log. The mailserv then cycles to to NTLM as an alternate, thereby allowing authentication and download of messages to the user.
The time delay is negligible, hence the User has no indication of the first check being made with the wrong authentication. Only the ISP could see the error as it was logged.
Life continues.

PDFs don't show up in Mail?!

Hi. I'm using Mail 4.4. Whenever I receive PDF attachments, I can't open them properly, they open using textedit and the characters are all gibberish. But when I go into my actual gmail account the PDFs open normally. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Some sender names not showing in Mailbox view, but show in e-mail window

Some of the e-mails I receive instead of having the sender name appear in the From column in my inbox have their e-mail address appear instead. They are people who are in my Address Book with that e-mail address, and their name does appear in the From line in the e-mail itself.
Is there some setting I need to change so that their name appears in the From column instead of their e-mail address? Thanks!

I am seeing very similar behavior. For me, when I view the message in the list of all messages in the InBox window, for a few senders only the e-mail address is displayed. However, when I select that mail message, the person's name is properly displayed in the message viewing panel.
Have you been able to figure out what is going on?

Mail passwords for a pop account

I have two mail accounts one pop account in belgium and one mac account. After upgrading to leopard, mail is asking on an irregular basis for the password for the pop account.
In the preferences for mail the password for the pop account doesn't show, even after it has been given again. It look likes if Mail doesn't save it, it doesn't show up in the preferences. Even a new set-uo if the mail account didn't solve the problem.
How can I solve this problem?

I have also tried this and even setting up a new emailaccount. When setting it up it takes halv an hour to the computer in checking the connections with the smtp server and sometimes it fails. The strange thing is that I also get the question about the certicate for my smptpserver and the question if I am going to rely on it. I answer yes. And then it works a few times. But then it is the same song again
It asks me for a password. I I don´t check the option remember password in keyring it keeps asking until I check it. And then it´s ok until next time it asks me for the password and then there is one more identical password in my keyring.
The main issue to me is why I can´t save the setting password and why it changes to apopathentification. I.M.H. O i consider this as a major bug in Leopard and have also reported it.
Setting up an applemail following the set up assistant sho9luld be a piece of cake. But it is not and even my emailprover has failed to find a solution on this and say this is something wrong with the settings or the applemail.
My wife who also have an applemailaccount has faced the same problems since I upgraded to Leopard.
