Growl 1.1.3 has been released, bringing with it the official Leopard-friendly GrowlMail Extra.
Long-time Hawk Wings readers will remember that a beta-version of the GrowlMail Extra emerged on the Internet late last year. This new release is the real thing.
The main Growl app gains a number of improvements, including the ability to show notifications in every one of Leopard’s Spaces, the option to set a unique sound for each app’s alerts, and some bug fixes.
GrowlMail itself has been rewritten to remove the conflict with Leopard, and can now be installed on other start-up volumes.
Likewise, GrowlSafari now works with Safari 3.0, and other Extras get bugfixes and enhanced compatibility with Leopard.
The alerts looks nice, and now seems to drag a picture from Address Book for the sender if one is available, but uses the default Mail stamp icon if not.

from MacThemes.
GrowlMail adds a preference pane to Mail.app in which you can set the way it reports alerts for more than one new email, the mailboxes it should monitor and more:
Growl and its Extras are freeware and available from the Growl web site .
im waited for an update for growl (mail) a long time… Growl ist, beneath Quicksilver, one of the “must have” OS X apps
Where did you get the iPhone styles? I didn’t see them on the Growl website’s Style directory, and they weren’t included in my Growl installation.
Good question. I’ve been away from blogging so long that I don’t remember. Perhaps I downloaded them from MacThemes:

Good to see that you are back. I missed updates on this site :D.
I did not notice growl updated until now.
I don’t know why, but it’s not working for me. The new growl is working fine, not GrowlMail. I can configure it etc., but no popup appears when I receive a new email…. Any suggestion?
Have you got it activated in both the system preferences application specific settings and in the GrowlMail preference plane in Mail.app?
Unfortunately Growlmail isn’t compatible with Apple Mail v4.0+. Mail just brought up an ‘incompatible so disabled extension’ dialogue box…
In the meantime, use the current beta (1.2b3) – http://growl.info/beta.html – which works fine with Snow Leopard.
