Apple mail out of office rule is sending auto replies to all emails not just newly received emails--HELP!
Apple mail out of office rule is sending auto replies to all emails not just newly received emails--HELP! I set up the rule according to another apple support thread and instead of only sending the reply to new mail received, it was sent to all messages I believe that were in my INBOX, thankfully I only had a few but several people that hadn't sent me emails since I set up the rule, received the OUT OF OFFICE reply. Please help. Here is the procedure I followed for the out of office rule-

I just used my email account which is a business account- not an ECU account but these rules according to the apple thread apply for all emails. Thank you
You can set it easily...
To access this feature in Apple's Mail app, right click on any sub-folder (like your exchange inbox on the left) and choose "Get Account Info." A window will pop up that looks like the one below. Make sure to select your Exchange account from the Account dropdown. Then click on the Out Of Office tab. If you have ever put in an Out of Office message in the past it will be displayed here. You can adjust and set your Out of Office from Apple Mail from within this tab.

Out of office message when sending mail to Lotus Notes from SAP
Hi,
Is it possible to have an 'out of office' message when sending mail to Lotus Notes from SAP?
I'm sending account statements by mail via a modified version of function FI_OPT_ARCHIVE_CORRESPONDENCE. The SAP username is send as a parameter, and later converted to the e-mail saved in the user profile. This works, - but I would like to have an out of office reply if the user I send to is out of office.
Hope someone can help...
Regards,
LeneAs Thomas pointed out, you can use regular SMTP mail to send the contents to Lotus Notes. You can use the function module SO_OBJECT_SEND or any of the SAP Office function modules to do this.
Only thing to remember is that the SMTP may have been disabled by your basis team due to security risks involved. An alternative could be a lotus notes connector available from IBM.

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?
My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite. -

My iPhone stolen and I download find my iPhone on it also I can sea it online but I can't locate it so please help me .. What should I do . I heard apple support can activate the GBS and send it to my e_mail . So I hope they can help me with that ...
Best wishes ..
<Email Edited by Host>These are user-to-user forums, I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post.
Apple and/or iTunes support can't locate it for you, only you can potentially locate it via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. -
Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !
Try restarting your Mac.
Open Termimal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)Try entering this command: killall Dock, and then hit enter
Try dragging the Mail icon out of the dock, then let it disappear in a puff of smoke. Then from Applications/Mail try dragging the Mail icon back into the dock, and see if it works.
Does Mail open otherwise? Like if you try opening it from your Applications folder?if it doesn't:
Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
if that doesn't work: reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.

Why is my email sending out auto replies to EVERY email I receive and how do I turn this off? I recently bought a new iPad and set up my email account on it, now whenever I receive an email it is automatically sending a response to every email I receive. There isn't even anything in the file, it's just a reply with my signature on it. Could this be because I have to many devices connected to the same email account? I can't think of any other reason as to why this would be happening as I have never had this problem before when configuring new devices... Any help would be magical!
You're welcome.
Yes, but would it cause massive duplicates?
It all depends on how the rules are defined. The following scenario seems likely in your case. When the first message arrives, both an auto-reply is generated and the message is redirected to the .Mac account. The redirected message is received in the .Mac account and, hence, treated as just another incoming message, i.e. processed by all the rules. Since redirecting preserves the headers, it's treated in the same way as the first one, i.e. both a new auto-reply is generated and the message is redirected again...
If I have setup a 'reply' rule, then that shouldn't
cause any duplicates, right? It should simply reply
to the sender with my stock message.
Right.
Why it would send duplicates
It doesn't. It's the redirect rule that creates the new copy and sends it to yourself.
Maybe it's continuing to apply the rule as it sits in the Inbox?
No, it doesn't do that. The rule is applied to the new message that is received in your .Mac account because of the redirect rule.
Is there a way to tell it to only apply the rule once?
That's how it works. Rules are applied automatically to incoming messages only, not to already received messages, even if they are in the Inbox.
The redirect rule doesn't seem to theorectically
cause duplicates either.
Sure it does.
It should simply redirect
the email to my .Mac account, once.
In order to do so, it must create a new message, just like when forwarding. And yes, it does so once... for each incoming message...
Maybe I need to setup a rule saying [...]
Instead of (or in addition to) processing messages based on the address they're being sent to, process them based on the account that receives them. -
Hi, I have a problem with getting my apple Id working for me. It's been 2 months since it happened and Apple failed to act. I can tell my story proerly, but am not sure, you guys can help, so I just copy my message to them today, I am trying to get it across all the places around to pay their attention. This is a desperate move, so if you are not the right people to help me to get my message accross, may be you can advise where can I go.
Thank you, and sorry for the language.
Vitas Dijokas
I am sorry to say that, but your security makes my life miserable – it’s been 2 months since my Apple ID account got stuck, and since then I cannot update 37 applications (to date), i.e. most of my applications. Half of them I bought. I also paid for iCloud, and it is not working. I paid money and I am stuck with old applications and no iCloud. Your security *****. Your service ***** too. It took your service 1 month to finally understand why this happened to me, and it took me tens of emails to you and 3 hours of telephone conversation to find out the reason for my problem. And the problem is still not fixed. NOT FIXED. You just leave your customer – the one who paid you money and spent so much time with you trying to help you help me – and nothing. You tell me: “Vitas, Stick your stinky iphone in your *** and enjoy life, we do not care!” *************.
It is ******* outrageous, and you should know that, guys. Get into the ******* database and correct the bug. Get someone in the partners-telephone carriers company (it is Orange as carreer and Cellcom as seller of the phone) authorized to Identify me in personal encounter in one of the branches in Israel (where I live) and make sure it is really me, and get the ******* system accept my password and let me use my phone.
Otherwise **** off. None of my friends will get my advise to buy an iphone or any of apple products. And I think you should be very attentive to cases like this, guys. Do your work for the money we pay, or disappear. There are many others eager to take your place, and if the problem is not fixed I will eventually go to the others. My patience is lost, and as soon as I can afford another phone I will change it. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE BAAAAAD PUBLICITY TO APPLE – I am threatening here, so ACT NOW.
Vitas DijokasWell, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you -
I have a spam issue. I'm running Mac Mail 7.3 on Mavericks. I am receiving many spam emails to control utilizing Preference option, plus time consuming to manage that way. Would like to reject the email, not just place it in junk folder. How to do?
Try writing a rule. Sample below.

Why can't I change my font style, and please don't give me a apple approved generic answer, please give me a reasonable answer as to why, not just because we designed it that way.i see that we have a choice here but why not in Email
This is a forum for users to help other users, and there is no Apple presence
here. Leave your comments at http://www.apple.com/feedback, but do not
expect a response. Apple does not comment on its internal decisions.
Check the AppStore to see if there is an alternative mail app that allows what
you want. -
Apple Mail ignoring SMTP defaults - won't send out.
For a couple of weeks, my Mail App has been behaving badly on sending out emails. I have several accounts set up, one uses mac.com, it works. But, my business emails use Bellsouth as the outgoing mail server, because I have DSL through them.
In preferences, the business accounts have bellsouth.net as the SMTP, with port 25 and no authentication. When I send email, I get an error message showing ONLY the mac account as an outgoing server, even though bellsouth is the specified SMTP server for that account. I have discarded the outgoing mailbox accounts under home/library/mail/mailboxes many times. I have tried changing the port to 587 as suggested in another thread. I can send mail from the bellsouth web page. Nothing helps.The following is a drastic step but it may resolve the problem since you have tried everything else I know to try besides targeting the Mail.app preference file.
Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
The only exception to this will be if you have a .Mac account and/or if you provided email account information as part of the computer setup assistant.
Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information the same as before, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailboxes at Home > Library > Mail.
After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
Test if this resolves the problem. -
Apple mailserver out of office
How to put ón out og office rulles ón a Apple mail client cennected to a Apple mailserver Lion
Lars, 1stly check that server side rules are turned on in ServerAdmin / Mail / Filters.
2nd , when setting up the filter rule in webmail, you need to add the person who is going on holidays email address to the "list of additional recipients email addresses". See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3205691?start=0&tstart=0 for details of the above.
Good luck! -
Apple mail sent with one account but sends with a different account
I have 5 email accounts in Apple mail. I have what I call my main one and many times when I take care to send FROM that one, it will land in the recipient's mailbox sent by a different account. I have tested it different ways even going so far as BCC myself, checking to make sure it is sent out with correct one and it still ends up sending it with the secondary/wrong account. Any ideas? I cannot delete the secondary account as I sometimes need to use it for work. thank you in advance.
I have mine set to 993... but I did not set it... all i did was set up gmail, and it worked automaticlly. That might have been the port number in Lion... i dont know.

Apple Mail 7.1 (1827) Slow to Send Mail Messages
Apple Mail 7.1 delays the sending of messages from iCloud or third-party ISP mail accounts by 20 to 30 seconds. While this behavior is not 100% consistent, it is reproducible 70% of the time.
Restarts or quit & relaunch Mail.app has no impact. Apple Mail has had all night to sync my two accounts (1 iCloud account and 1 third-party ISP account)
No error messages are thrown, all mail does send successfully, eventually.
This problem occurs on both my Apple MacBook Pro 2.7 i7 mid– 2012 and 2.6 Mid-2012. One had a fresh copy of Mavericks installed and the other had an update from Mountain Lion.
Synchronization has been performed, as well, the rebuild command has been executed.
The behavior also occured during an attempt to investigate the issue when a Mail account (in this case, a friends iCloud account) was installed into a newly created computer user account (standard or admin)
Clearly, not the most serious problem to have but one that merits discussion and eventual resolution.I am having the same issue with Mail 7.1 (1827). I have looked at all of the alternatives, but keep coming back to Mail. Airmail Beta, however, was outstanding. Write an email click send and it's gone like a rocket! If they keep developing, they will give Mail a run for the money.
That said, I like the search abilities in Mail and the smart folders. I keep coming back. Plus I like CMD+Shift+D to send. If I am out at a wifi spot and do an email, I really don't like having to sit there waiting for Mail to decide wether it wants to send or no. Perhaps I'll look at using alternative smtp ports? Maybe Mail doesn't like using port 26? Whatever the case, I wish they'd fix it. -
Apple Mail error 1969-12-31 no sender / no reply
Dear all,
I would like your help because I have a problem which has been dragging the more than 1 year. He started in iOS 7 and since then he has been disturbing me. I've tried everything and still could not solve. I tried to contact the telephone support from Apple in Brazil, but said they have not even how to open a support ticket internally to check the problem. The attendant who spoke to me on the phone possessed a very limited knowledge of the product in which it lent support.
What are 2 things:
1 Several times my Google mailbox (Gmail) is appearing as gray (image1) and I can not open it. Other accounts from my iphone I open normally. I can only access the account again if I am in the task manager and make a kill in the mail app. and gotta open it again and hope to gmail account not be gray ... if gray again I have to repeat the same process described above.
2 Often when I open this Gmail account, appears several messages with the date of 31/12/69 with title No sender and no subject.
I can not do anything .. or delete, or open or anything. To solve this problem I have to give a kill in the mail app and try to open again to see if the error to the error ... but rarely for the first time. Sometimes was making this process more than 10 times and often do not get success.
Already tried to do everything. Restore, delete account and create again, upgrade IOS, etc ... I have this problem since the IOS 7 and when he was my old Iphone 5. I am now an iPhone 5s and the problem remains.
Researched by google and saw that this problem is not new. Has reported since 2010, but could not find a solution. As Apple's own staff told me he could not open a call to forward to the responsible department, I decided to write here.
Portuguese translator:
Pessoal,
Gostaria da ajuda de vocês, pois estou com um problema que já vem se arrastando a muito mais de 1 ano. Ele começou no IOS 7 e de lá para cá ele vem me atrapalhando. Já tentei de tudo e até hoje não consegui resolver. Já tentei entrar em contato com o suporte telefônico da Apple do Brasil, porém disseram que eles não tem nem como abrir um chamado internamente para sanar o problema. A atendente que falou comigo no telefone possuia um conhecimento muito limitado do produto no qual ela prestava suporte.
O que acontece são 2 coisas:
1- Diversas vezes a minha caixa de correio do Google (Gmail) fica aparecendo como cinza (imagem1) e não consigo abri-la. As outras contas do meu iphone eu abro normalmente. Só consigo acessar novamente a conta se eu for no task manager e dar um kill no app do mail. Ai tenho q abri-lo novamente e torcer para a conta do gmail não estar cinza... se estiver novamente cinza eu tenho que repetir o mesmo processo descrito acima.
2- Muitas vezes quando abro esta conta do Gmail, aparece diversas mensagens com a data do 31/12/69 com titulo Sem remetente e sem assunto.
Não consigo fazer nada.. nem deletar, nem abrir, nem nada. Para resolver este problema eu tenho que dar um kill no app do mail e tentar abrir novamente para ver se o erro para... mas raramente o erro para na primeira tentativa. As vezes ficou fazendo este processo mais de 10 vezes e muitas vezes não obtenho sucesso.
Ja tentei fazer de tudo. Restaurar, deletar conta e criar novamente, atualizar IOS, etc... Tenho esse problema desde o IOS 7 e quando ainda tinha meu antigo Iphone 5. Agora estou com um Iphone 5s e o problema permanece.
Pesquisei pelo google e vi que este problema não é novo. Tem relatos desde 2010, porém não consegui encontrar uma solução. Como a própria equipe da Apple me disse que não poderia abrir um chamado para encaminhar para o setor responsável, resolvi escrever aqui.I Have the same problem. And worse, I have 4 e-mail set up on my phone, 3 are gmail, 2 work fine, just one (the one I use for Apple ID and iCloud) isn't working.
Anyone?
