Leopard fix / workaround

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Contributed by: brossow Tuesday, October 30 2007 @ 10:52 AM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

A workaround was posted to the Mail.appetizer mailing list yesterday. I don't have the message here on my work computer, but I believe the following is the correct procedure:

1. Ensure that Mail.app is not running.

2. Launch Terminal and enter these two commands:

defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles 1
defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion 3

3. Move the Mail.appetizer bundle from the folder ~/Library/Mail/Bundles (Disabled) back to ~/Library/Mail/Bundles.

4. Launch Mail.app -- all should be well again.

Hope this is right -- going from memory and using an XP machine at work so I can't verify. At worst it won't work but won't do any damage. :-)

Leopard fix / workaround - hektisk

This workaround allows mail to open with appetizer ostensibly installed (it has its own tab in 'Preferences", etc) but appetizer actually doesn't work. 'Enable mail.appetizer' is checked, but nothing pops up when I get a new mail. Is this happening to anyone else?
