Fix for GrowlMail plugin broken with 10.6.2 update

So assuming most users running Snow Leopard updated to the latest version 10.6.2 today, and if you use Apple Mail and the Growl Mail Plugin you noticed an error when opening up Mail after the update that the plugin was disabled because it was not compatible! Yowsers! It turns out the current version will still work with a little help from the Terminal. Here we go.

1. Make sure Apple Mail is quit if it was open.

2. Once the plugin gets disabled it is placed in your HD/Users/Library/Mail/Bundles (Disabled) folder. What you need to do is move the folder labeled GrowlMail.mailbundle from the "Disabled" folder back into the Bundles folder right above it.

3. Then you need to open up the Terminal which is located in your Utilities folder.

4. Once the Terminal is open your going to copy and paste two separate elements into it.

The first one is:

defaults write ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/Info SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add "2F0CF6F9-35BA-4812-9CB2-155C0FDB9B0F"

The second one is:

defaults write ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.mailbundle/Contents/Info SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add "0CB5F2A0-A173-4809-86E3-9317261F1745"

5. After completing this you should be able to open Apple Mail and you will not see the error upon opening the App and all is well with our GrowlMail Plugin! Obviously an update from the guys over there will fix the issue and it sounds like this might happen everytime Apple updates the OS! Either way the plug-in is a must have, and I can't thank the Team over there enough for all their hard work.

Here is a link if you haven't installed or checked out Growl at all.
