My husband bought me an imac for xmas and set it up with a user name that he doesn't remember. I am very green on the mac so where do i find my original user name so i can send my e-mails out in web mail? I have a new user name for new Tiger software but that isn't working for e-mail. the food stylist

The "user" name on the Mac is only for your local account on the machine, not for email. The system account names are listed in the Accounts preferences in System Preferences. For email, it's whatever name you register, either on something like AOL or web mail like gmail or Yahoo. There's nowhere to look for that information if you've forgotten it. Just register a new email account. It's free!

You could also look in Applications -> utilities -> keychain access (if I remember correctly). This is where you can see the stored passwords, and there might be something you could use to trigger the memory.
