Anyone know how to delete the Growl Mail plugin in OS X Mountain Lion?

The Library/Mail directory seems to be gone in Mountain Lion, so I can't locate the Growl Mail plugin to delete it. Don't need it now with Notifcation Center. Any helps is appreciated. Thanks!

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

I looked there, along with a few other places and can't seem to find it. Yet I still get an alert that the Grown Mail plugin can't be used when Mail opens. Any other thoughts?


Like you, I don't want to delete the entire program as it still offers some functions that Notification Center doesn't. I just want to delete the mail plugin so I don't get the alert every time it opens.

You should just be able to drag it out of the folder, into the trash and delete it. Is that not working for you? I haven't done so because it still provides notification services that Mountain Lion doesn't (yet).

Thank you Meg.


It works fine. However, for me, the apps I have that are associated with it (e.g., DaisyDisk, VLC player, Menuweather, IP Scanner) are just not that important to me on a daily basis. The new ML Notification Center is much more useful since it gives pop up notifications on emails, calendar events, messages, etc., that I use constantly. Since I purchased Growl in the Mac App Store, I can likely download it again if needed. But for now, it's gonzo.

What happens if you open up the Growl preferences, click on Applications, select Mail and turn it to off?
