In the Mail app on macOS 10.14 Mojave and later, users will need to manually activate plugins installed. With the Mojave-compatible version of Mailbutler installed, and before you start using your inbox with Mailbutler, you’ll need to first activate the app manually through your Apple Mail Preferences and restart Mail.
In this quick post we’ll guide you through the easy steps to enable your plugins on Apple Mail in macOS 10.14 and higher.
How to activate Mail plugins on Mojave
- Open Apple Mail and click Preferences…
- Click on Manage Plug-ins in the General tab
