You can uninstall the bundle afterwards if you like, but at least you will know that you can get them working.

I've tried to install a number of plugins for both Mail and Safari and none seem to "take". I've repaired permissions with Disk Utility. Still nothing. Any idea?

Yes, the text is not well written. I was imagining dragging the bundles into the bundles directory, not using the installers. Sorry about that. No worries. Yes, the text is not well written.

Switching the order worked. The instructions in the post seem to suggest installing the bundles after entering the terminal commands. Thanks. Switching the order worked.

That, of course, will run the Tiger bundle commands as part of the install process, and nuke Leopard bundle compatibility in the process. Quite Mail. Install Mail Act-on first, then use the public beta installer to install MailTags, which will automatically enter the right commands for Leopard into the Terminal. Then you can delete the MailiTags mail bundle from the ~/Mail/Bundles directory if you want to, but other plugins installed first will still work. Hope that's helpful, Tim @Erik: Are you installing Mail Act-on with its installer?

I could install MailTags and Mail Attachments Iconizer and they worked fine, but as soon as I tried to install Mail Act-On, Mail disabled all the bundles and I had to start again. My solution was to install MailTags and Mail Attachments Iconizer using the installers, drag Mail Act-On from the Disabled Bundles folder into the Bundles Folder, run the two commands in Terminal, and then relaunch Mail. Now I have all three plugins working. I had the same problem as Erik.

I can't seem to get any of these to work. Even with the terminal hack suggested, when I re-install the features, Mail still disables the bundles on startup. Maybe I'm missing something.

I wonder if I can ask you a slightly off-topic question? Before installing Leopard I had somehow persuaded the system calendar to begin its weeks on Mondays. Since I've installed Leopard the system calendar has defaulted to the American standard of weeks beginning on Sundays. While I can change this in iCal, say, it impacts on other apps that don't allow the user to specify whether weeks begin on Sundays or Mondays. I feel sure there must be a solution to this, but I can't find it. Help? Tim, good to see you back. I wonder if I can ask you a slightly off-topic question?
