Mail may unexpectedly quit with Safari 4 Public Beta and GrowlMail installed

2/25/09 By

After installing Safari 4 Public Beta in Mac OS X v10.5.6, Mail may unexpectedly quit when opened if a third-party Mail plugin is installed.

(Via Most Recent.)

Did you install the new Safari 4 Public Beta, and now your Mail application keeps crashing? It could be because you have GrowlMail installed. Try disabling Growl to see if it helps your situation. Or better yet, remove GrowlMail completely.
