Leopard compatible build of GrowlMail

One of the unfortunate incompatibilities Leopard brought with it was breaking GrowlMail, the plugin for Mail.app that shows new messages via the Growl notification system. However, Evan Schoenberg has now posted a test build of GrowlMail on the Growl discussion Google Group that appears to work with Leopard.

If you've been missing your Growl Mail notifications you can find the new plugin here (download link).

I found the link here:
http://growl.info/beta.html

I think that that is public enough to post. BTW, it worked for me!

ok, so i have it working thanks to the Terminal advice. But, ever since installing this, the Gmail accounts i check with Mail have stopped working. They're telling me the port i'm using is junk. My other Mac is checking it just fine. Anyone else having this issue?

From the comments at Hawkwings...

'It would have been polite to have asked us if it was ok to post this to a broader audience than just the google group. This build has problems, unfortunately posting this means that we may end up with more support requests for it than we had intended.' -Chris Forsythe

...yet TUAW still posts this story.

It's too bad you can't select which accounts it notifies on. The option is there in Mail preferences, but the checkboxes won't uncheck....at least for me.

When I first installed leopard it GrowlMail worked on IMAP email but not POP. So I reworked my addresses. Then it didn't work at all. This fixed it. Getting updates on all the RSS feeds may become tiresome after a while, but I'm glad to have my regular growlmail back. Thanks!

Mail Preferences are a little weird you may have to resize the window to see GrowlMail. The reason I say weird is, because if you click on the General Tab you cannot resize the Mail Preferences Pane but you can click on the Accounts tab to resize the Mail Preferences Pane Here is a screen shot of what GrowlMail looks like: http://aholeintheroad.googlepages.com/growlMail.png

Or you can just use the >> button on the tab bar...
I think when Apple created Mail prefpane, they weren't thinking in plugins...

Yeah, I did too, right along with Hey Folders!, but the Bronson Beta site hasn't been updated in forever, and no replies to emails.... I think we're out of luck....
