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!
This works for me. Many thanks.
You’re welcome!
See you again after the next Mail update 😉
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.
