Subject: GrowlMail (latest) problem
I have just installed the latest GrowlMail (with Lion 10.7.2, Mail 5.1
(125.1)) and cannot find in Mail Preferences the pane for controlling
notifications (even after restarting). How am I supposed to activate
GrowlMail?

Hi, Robin—

There are no chevrons when I open Mail preferences—even after I
reinstall (with Mail not running).

I have Growl and HardwareGrowler up an running. What is the additional mail
package? And, more to the point, where is it?

Sorry for the bother,

Alan

I downloaded the GrowlMail 1.3.2 .zip file and installed (as before) and
restarted (as before)). Still no chevrons, I am sad to say, in either my
Admin or my user accounts.

I would try:

1. quit Mail.app
2. uninstall GrowlMail using http://code.google.com/p/growlmail/downloads/detail?name=Uninstall%20...
3. install GrowlMail using the installer package in http://code.google.com/p/growlmail/downloads/detail?name=GrowlMail-1....
4. launch Mail.app
5. check Console.app to see if the following lines are displayed:

1/31/12 9:05:14.038 PM Mail: Using Growl.framework 1.3 (1.3)
1/31/12 9:05:14.038 PM Mail: Loaded GrowlMail 1.3.2

no restarts should be necessary, the Mail.app prefs window should display a >> chevron graphic to indicate there are more icons than will fit.

Rudy—

I uninstalled and re-intalled successfully. Yet there are no chevrons (and
no Growl Mail icon when I extend the window) and those two lines did not
appear in the Console log.

next i'd check that GrowlMail.mailbundle exists at ~/Library/Mail/Bundles and hasn't somehow been placed into a disabled bundles folder.

Interestingly your Mail.app has a different build number than mine.  mine is Version 5.1 (1251/1251.1).

if the mailbundle is where its supposed to be, i'd then suggest trying GrowlMailUUIDPatcher in the event that somehow you've got different compatibility UUID values than my (and seemingly everyone else's )10.7.2 install.

Hi, Rudy—

I have ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle and that directory seems
in proper oder.

My version of Mail.app is the same as yours: v5.1 (1251/1251.1)—I apologize
for the typo.

The patcher showed that I had two versions of Growl Mail.mailbundle: one
in ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/ and one in /Library/Mail/Bundles/. I removed the
latter, uninstalled, and reinstalled. No joy (even after restarting).

[image: Screen Shot 2012-02-01 at 8.33.11 AM.png]

The GrowlMailUUIDPatcher indicates that everything is in order and sees
nothing to do.

Note: when I first ran the installer, it indicated that Growl Mail would be
installed for all users, though it only put the GrowlMail.mailbundle
in ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/. This notice did not appear when I ran it a
second time (over the previous installation).

Alan,

ok, next thing to check now that you've only got one installed is the Mail.app prefs file.

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

there should be two key value pairs defined there (which should have been written by the installer package)

EnableBundles should be a boolean with the value YES

and

BundleCompatibilityVersion should be a Number with the value 4

if they aren't there then you can either add them manually or run these two commands in terminal.

defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool YES
defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion -int 4

Rudy—that’s got it!

EnableBundles was set to NO
and
BundleCompatibilityVersion was set to 3.

I made the changes and now everything is at it should be.

Warm thanks for your time and patience.

All best, Alan
