Fix GrowlMail for OS X 10.6.7 & Mail 4.5
It’s time again to circumvent Apple’s Mail Plugin policy and update the GrowlMail Bundle with the correct identifier string. Otherwise, after updating, Mail will tell you it has disabled the GrowlMail plugin and will move the bundle to ~/Library/Mail/Bundles (disabled).
To amend this, follow these steps:
- Quit Mail
- Move the GrowlMail.mailbundle Folder back into ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
- Enter the following two commands into your Terminal:
defaults write ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/Info SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add "1C58722D-AFBD-464E-81BB-0E05C108BE06" defaults write ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/Info SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add "9049EF7D-5873-4F54-A447-51D722009310"
- Start Mail and enjoy Growl notifications for new eMail again!

The Apple Schism
about 1 year ago - No comments
With the introduction of Apple’s newest operating system OS X 10.7 Lion, the company has taken one step further to disconnect their users from other competing user interaction schemes. Let me elaborate on this rather strong statement by going back in history a bit. I can still remember, when I got my first Mac, it…
Paste currently playing iTunes song in text fields (aka AMIP for Mac)
about 2 years ago - 3 comments
For quite some time Mac users where searching for a way to paste the currently playing song from iTunes in chat messages etc. I never thought about it much but recently a friend of mine, who was a former AMIP user on Windows, needed a similar functionality under OS X. Together we constructed a working solution.…

It offers a very structured display with different “modules” that break down the parsed access.log data into sections: General Statistics – Information analyzed…

See you again after the next Mail update
about 2 years ago
I tried the above but I still get the message that the plugin has been disabled and I need to contact the makers for a version compatible with mail (?) 4.5. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanx.

Are you sure, that Mail was not running at the time of the edit?
If Mail is still running, it will default back to the old values on next launch.
