Just installed Mountain Lion and GPGMail Mail Plugin is broken:

"Incompatible Plug-Ins Disabled" Mail has disabled the following Plug-ins:

GPGMail

Contact the makers of these plug-ins for versions that are compatible with Mail 6.0 and Message 6.0.0

Help?

   Hey Craig, GPGMail is not 10.8 compatible. That is true. No help yet, since we are still working on the final version of GPGMail 2.0 for 10.7. As soon as that is done, development for 10.8 will start.

   We are open source software, so anybody is welcome to provide patches or fixes. And we are a very small team. That means our available time is limited. We applied for a funding but have not heard back, yet.

   That's the current situation. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

   All the best,
   steve

   When I upgraded last evening to Mountain Lion, and received the same error message that Craig listed above, I dragged GPGMail to the Trash, and attempted to perform the following:

   $ rm -R ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GPGMail.mailbundle $ rm ~/Library/Preferences/org.gpgmail.plist $ rm ~/Library/PreferencePanes/GPGMail.prefPane

   ; however, the files did not exist in these directories. I assume everything was wiped out when I started iMail this morning, and it updated itself.

   So, the question remains; how can I get GPGMail out of my MBP, and get rid of the error message?

   Thanks,

   Dennis

   Hi Dennis,

   please check the following locations:

   • ~/library/mail/bundles
   • /library/mail/bundles

   The bundle might have been moved to another folder names "bundles (deactivated)". Check that as well.

   Remove the bundle from that location and the error message won't reappear.

   Cheers, steve

   I figured out a solution (to Remove GPGmail plug-in from iMail):

   1) Exit from iMail

   2) Open a terminal window

   3) Change to superuser

    username$ sudo bash (and enter your own password)
   

   4) Change to the imail plugins (i.e. bundles) folder

   bash-3.2# cd /Library/Mail/Bundles/
   
    Note: Be sure to go to the /Library/Mail directory structure (under the ROOT directory), and *NOT* the ~/Library/Mail directory under your user home directory.
   

   5) List the folder contents (to be sure you're in the correct folder)

    bash-3.2# ls *
   

   6) Remove the GPGMail plugin/bundle folder

    bash-3.2# rm -R GPGMail.mailbundle
   

   7) Exit from superuser mode and the terminal window

    bash-3.2# exit (and press Return)
    username$ exit (and press Return)
    When you see [Process Completed}, close the Terminal Window
   

   7) Restart iMail. It should now start up without the GPGmail incompatible plugin error message

   Enjoy...

   Steve,

   I figured it out and just posted a reply in the form, then I saw your message.

   Thanks for the quick reply. I'm looking forward to an update that will allow me to reinstall GPGmail. You guys are doing a great job.

   Thanks,

   Dennis

   Dennis, glad this was so simple to resolve.

   We're looking forward to 10.8 compatibility as well, but it's a bit down the road.

   I'm closing this for now.
