Just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74) and Growlmail does not work. Any idea when a compatible version of Growlmail will be available?

GrowlMail 1.3.2 was just released. Updated fine via sparkle.

http://groups.google.com/group/growlmail-discuss/browse_thread/thread/b37c2cada181de6b#

The following issues have been addressed in this release:

-- GrowlMail fails to notify on launch until you open the prefs window
(#23)
-- GrowlMail shuts itself down after a period of time (#24)
-- GrowMail 1.3.1 doesnt work on MAC OSX LION 10.7.2 (11C74) (#25)

Will GrowlMail be updated for Mac OS X 10.6.8? I won't upgrade to Lion for some time, and GrowlMail 1.2.5 only supports up to 10.6.7.

Macmanux reviewed on 23 Jul 2011

Yeah - 1.3 is running fin e under Lion! The original Growl developer had discontinued development, and handed over to the code of GrowlMail to the OpenSource community. And it seems, a new developer has fixed this for Lion. Many thanks, indispensable tool!

Says here http://code.google.com/p/growlmail/downloads/detail?name=GrowlMail-1.3.zip&can=2&q=

"Lion compatible version of GrowlMail, it will not work on OSes prior to 10.7.0."

This simply does not work under 10.6.5; nothing happens after installation and upon de-installation *then* it wants a admin password (not needed for the installation)!

You would do good to report the issue to us instead of just to macupdates. Go to our contact page and go that route. I'm not troubleshooting this on here, it's hard.

Ephg replied on 25 Mar 2012

It specifically says it is for 10.7 ONLY!!!!!

Is there a difference between "compatible with" and "declared compatibility?" The version history is inconsistent, and previous versions of the software list "Compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.x" in the changelog.

Well when we made that previous entry, we didn't fully expect them to change the uuid on every single minor update of mail.app, including the ones that only ship with new hardware.

Thanks, but I've already fixed it two days after the 10.6.7 release, and everything is fine. I'm glad I didn't wait for you...

There's more than just the uuid fixes for compatibility with 10.6.7. Maybe you should read the version history before posting something like this.

is this version works with Mail.app of Lion ? By the bye thanks to developpers : Growl and GrowlMail are perfect !

We can't comment about 10.7 until it's no longer under NDA. :)

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound offensive. I was just saying it took a long time for the official fix to be released.
And by the way, I fully agree with mickaphd, Growl and GrowlMail are great! And free. Thanks developers :-)

oh poo, I know its not growlmails fault but every update this breaks and I really like growlmail. Think I will hold off doing update to 10.6.7 for time being.

MacUpdate-Warren had trouble on 09 Feb 2012

I'm happy that the latest versions of GrowlMail are Lion compatible, but in my experience, the app seems to forget my chosen Display Style configuration every time I restart my Mac. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hi. I installed the latest update, but when I launch mail it continues to deactivate the plugin. Any ideas?

gatovadio had trouble on 01 Jun 2011

hi people.

anyone knows if it's possible to just show the %sender %subject tokens (in growlmail's prefs) in new notifications without any bit of the mail body?
like just:

johnny appleseed
borrow cds

the simplest i can get is a notification that i have a number of new emails in my inbox without any token info.

thanks.

Tripod2 had trouble on 26 May 2011

Attempts to install GrowlMail 1.2.4 on my G5 running 10.5.8 fail with an error about being the installer being unable to write to a temp folder.

Ran the GrowlMail-Installation-Fixer-1.0 app, the GrowlMail 1.2.4 installer then runs fine, yet no GrowlMail preferences are available in the Mail.app version 3.6.

So now I have lost GrowlMail entirely after attempting to update. I do not have a previous version of GrowlMail installer handy to try to restore functionality.

I really like growl mail, been working great.

However just updated this morning to 10.6.5 and now it no longer works.

After software update, advised plugin had been deactivated as not compatible.

Look forward to a fix soon.

thanks

See the Tip in Letterbox (search MacUpdate for 'Letterbox') to see how to fix all of the Mail bundle plugins. Basically, you need to update the Info.plist file within GrowlMail.mailbundle with two new GUID entries in order to get Mail to accept the Growl Mail plugin.

Dorkypants replied on 21 Mar 2011

@Jminnihan: broken again in 10.6.7 and copy-pasting the PluginCompatibilityUUID from Mail.app's Info.plist to GrowlMail's SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs array didn't work.

Dorkypants replied on 21 Mar 2011

Apparently 2 ID strings need to be added:

Thanks to Greg Welch, developer of MailFollowUp plugin for the solution.

Philmac had trouble on 24 Sep 2010

When GrowlMail gets the body of a message, it also loads images, even if you have turned off "Display remote images" in Mail's preferences.

The bug is known and is slated to be addressed in version 2.0.

The workaround is to select "Show a summary or received emails" in GrowlMail's preferences. (That means GrowlMail won't show the text of messages, of course.)

The issue is discussed at http://groups.google.com/group/growldiscuss/browse_thread/thread/9ea4179d02aa968a/c62811c448ae6c0d

If it matters to you, you can express that by starring the ticket: http://code.google.com/p/growl/issues/detail?id=89

After upgrading to OS X 10.6.4, Mail disabled GrowlMail as an incompatible plugin.
