Growl 1.1.3 - Finally Mail-Growling

June 11, 2008 · Filed Under Software 

Most Mac users will know (and probably use) Growl, a powerful notification system for Mac OS X. If it’s a finished download, a new message or something else - Growl delivers notifications from many applications in a customizable, uniform look.

Growl supports a heap of applications but ever since Leopard came out, Apple Mail was no longer supported. This changes with version 1.1.3 which is supposed to support Mail. But after installing it, nothing changed - Growl was still not reacting to incoming emails.

After various de- and reinstalls, I finally did the right thing - Read the documentation. To make Growl work with mail.app, you have to install growl.mail which can be found in the “Extras” folder of the Growl disk-image. After that, you´ll find a new Growl-tab in the Mail preferences and everything works flawless. Looks like sometimes, reading the f*** manual really does help ;)

    Ya, we can’t go installing bundles for apps without the user knowing what’s going on.
