What version of Growl are you trying to install?

Leopard is definitely compatible with Leopard, although there is not
much point in installing Leopard on a Leopard system.

What happens when you try to install it?

I noticed under Applications in the Growl setting the notification
keeps reverting to "junk mail" even though I have changed it to "new
mail".
Peter Hosey
> I would like mail notifications.
GrowlMail is currently broken on Leopard, and according to previous
posts on this list, GrowlSafari is too. The rest of Growl should work
fine.
andiyar
notifications set for Adium, Camino, Transmission, Thunderbird and via
Audioscrobbler for iTunes. None of them are now working since I
updated to 10.5.1. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Growl, as well as
the newest versions of all the above apps, but Growl simply isn't
posting messages. Using test messages via the System prefpane displays
fine, just the apps themselves won't post their appropriate message.
Anything you can suggest I should try to restore Growl?

Do you have a Growl.prefPane in the PreferencePanes folder of the
Library folder in your Home folder?
Do you have a Growl.prefPane in the PreferencePanes folder of the

Logitech's mouse drivers, specifically LCC Scoll Enhancer. As soon as
that is disabled, growl returns to normal. Which isn't exactly the
best solution either - as I need to disable my mouse drivers to get
growl to work. interestingly enough, the drivers themselves haven't
worked properly in Leopard either - I'm wondering if disabling growl
would allow my mouse to work properly. For the record, the drivers are
included with Logictech Control Centre 2.4, Leopard is at 10.5.1, and
Growl at 1.1.2.

Logitech Control Center:
* sometimes conflicts with Growl (as you've found)
* conflicts with TextMate[1]
* is an APE module
* installs APE without telling you.[2]
I recommend getting rid of it. As an alternative, I recommend USB
Overdrive:

Growl doesn't do anything with the mouse, so I wouldn't expect so.
Considering that, and the fact that LCC conflicts with both Growl and
TextMate, I say it's LCC that's causing it to work improperly.
By comparison, USB Overdrive's website says that it works on Leopard,
and we know of no conflicts between it and Growl.

Here's hoping they also fixed its conflicts with other software.

That zip file only contains GrowlMail, not Growl, so no.

You still shouldn't uninstall Growl before installing Evan's build of
GrowlMail, because that package does not contain Growl. You would
have GrowlMail and no Growl, which would do nothing.

or performance.
plus, as Rudy said, the problem seems to have been resolved in
Leopard.

Did you install GrowlMail from the Installer package that was in the
zip archive?
Peter Hosey
> Yahooooooooooooooooooo! Growlmail works for Leopard!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad to read that it's now working. ☺
Bear in mind that there are some regressions in that version of
GrowlMail—nothing serious (that we know of, at least), but there are
bugs that we know about. There's a reason we haven't done a formal
release of that yet. ;)
The two that I can remember off the top of my head (I really should go
over my list archives and start entering the reports into tickets) are:
1. Automatic mode is apparently somewhat flaky.
2. GrowlMail posts a new-mail notification when you move a message
from one mailbox to another. (It detects new mail by listening for
messages to be added to mailboxes. It's smart enough to ignore Drafts
and Sent, but doesn't detect manual moves to your custom mailboxes.)
I mention this solely so that you don't get disappointed later when
you run into one of the aforementioned bugs.

happened. Restarted Mail a couple of times, GrowlMail hasn't
registered in Growl and there is no prefs for it in either Growls pref
pane or in Mails Pref pane.
This is with Growl 1.1.2 but GrowlMail NOT previously installed.

I downloaded the .zip file at your link and then installed the new
GrowlMail using the included installer and I have not noticed
GrowlMail working again. My computer is a PowerBook G4, 1.33 GHz
running Mac OS X 10.5.1. I have tried: (1) restarting the computer;
(2) restarting mail; (3) toggling GrowlMail on and off in the
preference pane. Activity Monitor says Growl Menu and Growl Helper
App are running. Growl.prefPane is in /Library/Preference Panes and
user/Library/Preference Panes. Growlichat.prefPane is also in user/
Library/Preference Panes.
Any ideas?

have to do those steps again.

What is the output when you run this?

Do you have GrowlMail.mailbundle in the Bundles folder of the Mail

(Disabled). When I trashed that, and the GrowlMail.mailbundle folder
and reinstalled from the ZIP file and restarted the machine and Mail,
I got a dialog box with this message:
Mail has disabled the following installed bundles:
GrowlMail
Please contact the makers of these bundles for a version compatible
with Mac OS X 10.5 Mail before reinstalling them.

I do have a small issue with the settings, I can't enable or disable
Accounts. The check boxes don't work at all. The accounts that are
already disabled (not checked) are still firing off notifications.
Not sure if this is where I should report it. If not please let me
know the right place.
Thank you.

Hi all -- this still doesn't work for me. I've installed Growl
1.1.2. Installed the new Mail Bundle linked in this thread (GrowlMail-
rewrite-r4729.zip). I also tried these Terminal commands that I read
on another thread:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool
YES
defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion -int 3
No dice. I've tried restarting everything. Still no good. I don't
see GrowlMail show up as a preference in Mail or as an application in
the Growl Preference Pane.
I've been desperate to get Mail notification working again ever since
I upgraded to Leopard. Please help.. :(
Peter Hosey
> defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool

That first one is incorrect. Leave out the /Library/Preferences part.
Also, don't do it while Mail is running, or Mail will undo your
changes when it quits. You need to do both of them while Mail is
*not* running.

1 - Install the GrowlMail package that comes with growl
2 - Execute the commands below
3 - THEN install the Leopard GrowlMail
Do all of this with Mail closed, and it should work.

Are you using Leopard?
The BundleCompatibilityVersion for Tiger is 2, not 3.
Peter Hosey

That's not necessarily wrong. If something slips through Gmail's
beefy spam filters, but gets caught by Mail, it'll be junk mail in
your inbox (providing that you don't have Mail move the junk mail to
the Spam mailbox automatically).
To disable junk-mail notifications, go to the Growl preference pane
in System Preferences, look up GrowlMail in the Applications tab, and
turn off that notification.
As for “Inbox Only”: I rewrote GrowlMail, and a feature got plowed
over. That's why the code is in a branch, and why there is no beta of
it on growl.info.
This is a temporary situation. I'm going to go file the ticket for
Inbox Only now.

part of inbox accounts to check off, but they are treated as such in

Peter Hosey
> Any mechanism to disable the display of RSS feeds.
Not yet. There are no new futures in this version of GrowlMail.
What we should do (after beta 1) is replace the list of accounts with
an outline view of mailboxes. I'll go file a ticket.

This means either that you are running Leopard (BCV should be 3), or
that you are running Panther or earlier (BCV should be 1).
Cheetah 10.0
Puma 10.1
Jaguar 10.2
Panther 10.3
Tiger 10.4
