That was a lot less long-winded than my reply was just about to be, thanks peter! ^_^
On topic: Bob: I remember some issues related to growlmail not loading a while back; it may be worth looking back through the archives and seeing what was said then. Also perhaps useful to future discussion: The GrowlMail that needs removing to uninstall is GrowlMail.mailbundle, which is found in Library/Mail/Bundles/ . That is all. It would be interesting to know which Library/ this was in (from the root of your hd, or the home of your user account). Similarly, have you got a com.apple.mail in your /Library/ Preferences/ ? (from the root of your hd—I expect there to be one in your home folder) Less on topic: For those interested, all this 'defaults' business is literally just playing with individual preferences inside the .plist files in Library/ Preferences. Which Library depends on who you are logged in as at the time. These files are actually just xml files, although they are stored in binary format. If you feel like playing around, there is a Property List Editor.app that gets installed with Apple's developer tools. Also, you can convert between binary and raw xml using another command- line tool called plutil. Nb. you're better off playing with a pretend app's file (or one that's backed up) if you want to fiddle, for obvious reasons. :D On 25 Mar 2009, at 23:43, Peter Hosey wrote: > > On Mar 25, 2009, at 10:35:07, bob sherman wrote: >> i can not get mail to notify me with a sound, which is a big problem >> when im deep in a WOW dungeon :D. > > That's nothing to do with GrowlMail.
