GrowlMail 1.1.4 ONLY works in my Admin Account

Post by RobK »

I just installed Growl v1.1.4 and GrowlMail while logged into my Admin Account. Then I restarted Mail. GrowlMail works!

But when I log into my regular non-Admin Account, Growl works but GrowlMail does not. I don't see the extra prefernce pane in Apple Mail.
What is wrong? Do I need to install GrowlMail for EACH user account?

I think you do. GrowlMail won't work in /Library anymore

Strange. I do not see GrowMail installed in (My Admin User Account Home Folder)/Library/Mail. It is installed in /Library/Mail.
If I install GrowMail while logged into my regular non-admin account, it should not make any difference since it appears that GrowlMail does not touch /Library in my home folder. It installs to /Library in Macintosh_HD.

Ah, in that case you probably need to enable mail bundles then.

How do you enable "mail bundles"? I don't see the option in Growl Preferences.

It's a defaults command. Search the forums for how to do this.

MailBundles were enabled in my Admin Account but NOT in my regulat user account.

So while logged into my regular user account, I opened TERMINAL and run this command:

"defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool YES"

Then I opened mail, I got this warning message:

"Mail has disabled the following installed bundles:

GrowlMail

Please contact the makers of these bundles for a version compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 Mail before reinstalling them."

So it didn't work. I am running 10.4.11.

Any other ideas?

There's one other command you need, bundlecompatibility I think is the name of it but I'm not positive on that

I just upgraded to Leopard, and I'm having the same problem with the same error message after installing 1.1.4. Is there any reliable way to get GrowlMail to work in Leopard? I see a lot of questions in the forums and elsewhere online but no clear solution.
