i spoke too soon. its not working. it did for a moment but not anymore. furthermore, i can not get mail to notify me with a sound, which is a big problem when im deep in a WOW dungeon :D.
at this point, i just want to get everything back to baseline and then i can venture out again from there. how do i repair the new mail sound issue and return my mail to its initial condition? i read on the web various places, and this is what ive done so far: i manually uninstalled growlMail, this is what i did. am i missing something? -i have deleted the mail bundle -set defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool yes to "no" and then again to "yes" -i have erased the mailScript and growlMail from growl preferences i also tried making some rules in mail. i made one that bounces the icon with new mail. which works fine. i then made another one that plays a sound with new mail and it didnt work. i have selected "none" and then after relaunch "new mail sound" in mail preferences i have rebooted multiple times after each various step i have also turned growl off completely. you had me enter the terminal line : defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion -int 3 did that change something? if so, what do i type to change it back to what it was?

(just to be safe: mail's preferences is set to be the width of its tabs, and not with one extra, so double check growlmail isn't actually there, and just hidden in the little » arrow that will appear if it is. if not, continue…) mail requires some preferences in its .plist file to be enabled in order to load bundles such as GrowlMail. i think the GrowlMail package is supposed to do them, but perhaps if mail disabled bundles for some reason they haven't been. anyway, try quitting mail, then type the following lines into the terminal to enable them: defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool yes defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion -int 3 hopefully, when you start mail up again, growlmail will load.
