Update 2: Fix for 10.6.7 and Mail 4.5
Update: Fix for 10.6.5 and Mail 4.4
Another OS X release, another broken GrowlMail bundle. I did a post just like this for 10.6.2. Check it out if you want more background on why this occurs.
Download a pre-patched GrowlMail.bundle and drop it in your ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/ directory1. If you want it available to multiple users on your system, use /Library/Mail/Bundles/.
If you use this method you’re all set; no need to use the command line solution below.
If you have already had your plugins disabled by opening Mail.app you’ll need to look in ~/Library/Mail (or /Library/Mail if you installed globally) and move the files back to the active bundles directory. They’ll typically be in Bundles (Disabled), so quit Mail, find them, and move them back into the proper directory.
If you have a local installation:
defaults write ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/Info SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add "E71BD599-351A-42C5-9B63-EA5C47F7CE8E" defaults write ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/Info SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add "B842F7D0-4D81-4DDF-A672-129CA5B32D57" |
Global installation:
defaults write /Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/Info SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add "E71BD599-351A-42C5-9B63-EA5C47F7CE8E" defaults write /Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/Info SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add "B842F7D0-4D81-4DDF-A672-129CA5B32D57" |
thanks!
Thank YOU a LOT
Perfect fix… thanks a bunch!
dude, tried this, sadly Mail segfaults afterwards:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x00007fff5f3ffff8
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
aww, forget it… mixing things typically gets badly punished
Folow the Scott’s procedure and now work!!
TNX A LOT!!
Awesome. Thanks!
Great work, thanks
Thanks for the tip. Where did you derive the UUID values
Worked great thanks
[...] Mac OS X10.6.4にアップグレードしてからmail.app(ver4.3)もアップグレードしました． するとGrowlMailが機能しなくなって地味に困ってました． パッチが公開されていたのでインストールすると無事GrowlMailが機能するように． 以下のリンクよりパッチのzipを落としてきます． http://cdn.langui.sh/2010/06/GrowlMail.mailbundle.zip 解凍後できるフォルダを~/Library/Mail/Bundles/に移動します． その後はMail.appを再起動すると無事Growlが起動します． 他にも方法はあるようです．詳しくは以下のリンクより． http://langui.sh/2010/06/15/fixing-growlmail-in-10-6-4-mail-4-3/ [...]
Worked great! Thanks so much. I was really missing GrownMail.
Thanks…. again!
[...] Update! Er is nu ook een kant en klare gepachte versie beschikbaar: http://langui.sh/2010/06/15/fixing-growlmail-in-10-6-4-mail-4-3/ [...]
Thanks! I love GrowlMail and was really happy to see this. A quick, easy solution and Growl is up and running again.
Thanks, you get so used to these little utils that make life so much easier. Where did you derive the UUID’s as it would be nice to fix this straight away the next time Apple make changes.
Again a big thanks Martin
Hi
I have moved the patched bundle to the correct directory but where do I start or configure Growl? Everytime I try to install it Mail.app moves it to the disable folder – even if the patched bundle is in the Bundles folder…
I can’t get this to work and I know it’s me
Tried all of the above, still no growlmail.
Tried all of above – still not working
Excellent!
Finally got it to work after uninstalling Growl completely, then reinstalling, then going through the process above. Thanks!
great work. super easy and I needed growlmail back.
Bon travail. Merci. Thanks.
10x so much
[...] yours is broken, you can download a patched version of the plugin from the developer’s web [...]
After dropping the bundle in the directory, Mail quit as soon as it tried to use Growl. Removing the bundle from the directory allowed Mail to work again. Weird.
Thanks for making this available.
Two items:
1. I don’t seem to have a /Library/Mail …is that a problem?
2. Does the entire downloaded folder go into ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/?
or???
Seems like it is not working for me.
I am running the new OS X 10.6.5 with Mail 4.4. I had GrowlMail under ~/Library/Mail/Bundles (Disabled) folder.
I dropped the patch you mention above. But as soon as I started Mail, it showed me the warning message that GrowlMail has been disabled.
Next, I downloaded a fresh copy of GrowlMail 1.2.2 and installed it. Opened mail and obviously the package was moved into the disabled folder. Next, I copied the bundle back to it correct location and deleted the disabled folder. Then I ran the commands via the Terminal. Started Mail and again the same error message and I see the app moved to the disable folder.
Am I missing something?
Here are the new UUID’S for the 10.6.5 update:
857A142A-AB81-4D99-BECC-D1B55A86D94E
BDD81F4D-6881-4A8D-94A7-E67410089EEB
Just tested them and they work.
Got them from here.
