Automatic Reply Message

I tried setting an automatic reply in the Windows 8.1 mail app. The mail app continually pops up saying "We couldn't save the automatic reply for ..." with the options Try Again and Close. No matter if I change my message or not, I keep getting
this pop-up. How do I save my automatic reply messages?

Hi,
We've noticed this issue on Mail Application, as britishdhez mentioned, seems like "delete and re-add the mail account to mail app" is the workaround for now.
Remove account:
a.
Open the Mail App.
b.
Press Windows key + C.
c.
Select the option Settings.
d.
Click on Account, Select the account.
e.
Select the option Remove account.
Adding a New account:
a.
Open the Mail app.
b.
Press Windows key + C.
c.
Select the option settings.
d.
Click on Account, select add an Account.
Refer to the following Microsoft article for more information:

My email has suddenly started sending automatic reply messages when I recieve emails, how do I make it stop?

is there an option that I can uncheck or is it a virus?

Select the account in the Folder Pane. Right-click, select ''Settings'', and check the settings under ''Return Receipts''.

Rule using which is an automatic reply

I have the following rules set up:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
which is an automatic reply
move it to the specified folder
The rule is enabled but I continue to receive Out of the Office: and Automatic Reply: e-mails. I attempted to create a rule that would move based on Automatic Reply being in the Subject, except that it doesn't actually appear in the subject, it behaves similar
to RE:.
Is there a way to modify the rule to catch these types of e-mails?

Hi KimSpin,
I have a test in my environment. If you want to let the Out Of Office automatic reply messages go into a specified folder, please create a rule on Outlook side like this:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with Automatic reply: in the subject
move it to the Automatic reply folder
Hope this can be helpful to you.

Automatic Error Message in SAP PI 7.1

My scenario in SAP PI 7.1 is like this:
1. If an XML message fails in validation of structure, that is the structure is not as per the message schema or any field contains data that is incorrect as per the business requirement, then SAP PI should not further process the message (i.e. reject the message or mark it as invalid)
2. As soon as the message is marked invalid (as described in point 1), PI will have to automatically generate a error or a failure message containing reasons why the original message falied. The structure of automatic error message should be predefined in PI (e.g. a schema)
My question is, how to achieve the above two scenarios in SAP PI 7.1
Thanks a lot for your immediate reply

implement XML Validation concept,we do have a oppurtunity to validate XML document before picking up,it will check against correct structure.if any the data wrong you can show error at adapter engine level only,we can do this one IE level and AE level.
search in sdn ,there are many documents.

we can't mark the file invalid using PI i think

Out of Office error: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.'

Hi,
This is my first post in the forums. Please forgive me if it's in the wrong category or if it's not posted correctly in any way.
I'll try and give you below as much information about the problem we have here as I can.
What we have:
- an on-premises Windows 2012 Standard server that is the PDC, DNS and DHCP server;
- a second Windows 2012 Standard server with the sole purpose of hosting our Exchange 2013 CU7 server;
- Windows 7 PCs with Office Home and Business 2010 v.14.0.7143.5000 (32-bit);
- Outlook 2010 connects through Outlook Anywhere (mail.ourdomain.com).
The problem:
If trying to set up Out of Office through Outlook on the client PCs, we'd get an error message: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.' Interestingly, it does work normally for some users.
It works fine for all users if done through OWA.
Tests performed:
User 1 on PC1 has the problem. User 2 on PC2 doesn't have the problem. Both users are members of the same security groups.
- setting up User 2 on PC 1: the problem exists;
- setting up User 1 on PC 2: the problem exists;
- setting up a second Outlook profile on PC2 within User 2's domain account (the one that works), for the same User 2: the problem still exists!
I haven't been able to set up an Outlook account that works since this issue was discovered, although there are existing Outlook accounts that do not have the issue.
Let me also point out we have another issue we are working on and which may or may not be related: the Autodiscover function in Outlook doesn't work. Test E-mail AutoConfiguration results in 'Autoconfiguration was unable to determine your settings!'.
I can see postings in the Internet of other people having the same problem with OoO, but couldn't see a solution that fits my case: some existing accounts in Outlook are fine, other are not and newly created profiles of aforementioned working accounts do not
work. The majority of the articles/threads I read suggest recreating the Virtual Directories in Exchange, but we did that just a month ago (when troubleshooting the Autodiscover problem) and besides if the problem is in the Virtual Directories, I would expect
it to affect all accounts.
Any help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need other details.
Apologies if the posting is not in the right place or not done properly - I'm still learning.

The IIS log files on the CAS might tell you something. Depending on how your proxy server handles NAT the IP address of your connection might be from the proxy server instead of your client.
In any case, a tool like Fiddler (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler) can be extremely helpful in working on problems like this because it can decode the SSL traffic on the client and you can see what's being sent
and what's being received.
Another thing to check (although it's unlikely to be your case) is whether or not your browser (when you try connecting to the autodiscover URL) thinks it's in the "Internet" zone. the "Local intranet", or at a "Trusted" site.
The domain names you use on machines on your LAN should be excluded from being proxyed. Anything with "." in the name will be set, unless excluded, to the proxy server.
Is the time correct on the client machine? Is it more than 5 minutes different to the Exchange machines and domain controllers? That'd be something that would cause Kerberos to fail.
A certificate can be a problem if its expired or if it doesn't have the correct names. But I wouldn't worry about the uglog.com domain just yet. Until you get the Autodiscover working with the SCP you have bigger problems.
If you've never used a WPAD file then don't worry about it. It's very useful if you have a complex network and you want to manage how browsers connect to servers. For example, if you have multiple proxy servers the each manage a different set of names, an/or
if some names should bypass proxy servers entirely and just connect directly. If run a strictly Microsoft network with only Microsoft product that you can manage with GPOs (and you can enforce those GPOs on every machine -- even the BYOD ones) you probably
don't need a WPAD.

Exchange 2007 / Outlook 2013 "Your Automatic Reply Settings Cannot Be Displayed Because The Server Is Unavailable"

One of our users is having problems setting replies from Outlook on his local PC. This is an SBS 2008 Server with Exchange 2007. The client PC is running Windows 8 with Outlook 2013. This issue doesn't seem to affect other users but this
is the only client with Outlook 2013.
When trying to set an automatic reply from within Outlook 2013 we get the "Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is unavailable". Outlook seems to be connecting and working fine so connection to the server does
exist.
Trying this same operation from owa works without issue. Please let me know what we need to do to find a solution.
Thanks so much!

Problem:
IMAP downloads inbox don't work after November patches.
If you install a fresh OS and O2K13 unpatched ,the IMAP works fine.
Fully patched O2K10 works fine too.
It worked for my customer until November patch Tuesday broke the IMAP sync.
Consultant opened case.
Response from Microsoft:
        This is with regards to the issue faced by you due to regression         caused by November security update. This is further to inform         you
that fix is out and below is the download links for 32 bit         and 64 bit of the office suites. You need to apply all 3 hotfix.         The crash issue and IMAP issue would get resolved
immediately         while the issue related to Free / Busy and OOF not getting set         would take 24-36 hours to start working once the patch is
applied.

How do I set up my mail to automatically reply that we are on holiday?

How do I set up my mail to automatically reply that we are on holiday?

From Mail Help:
You can create a rule to have Mail automatically reply to incoming messages. For example, you can set up a rule that’s triggered by a specific subject so that Mail replies automatically to all messages with that subject.
This feature is useful if you receive a lot of similar messages from an online form on a website, and you want to reply automatically.
To automatically reply to messages:
Choose Mail > Preferences and click Rules.
Click Add Rule and type a descriptive name for the rule.
Set the conditions necessary for the rule to apply to a message.
From the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu, choose “Reply to Message.”
Click “Reply message text” and enter the text for your reply message.
Mail will include the text you enter, along with the full text of the original message, in the message that it sends.
Mail must be running to automatically reply to messages, because rules aren’t processed while your computer is shut down or you’re logged out. To set up automatic replies while you’re on vacation, ask your email service provider how to set up an out-of-office reply.
Carefully consider the rules you create for sending automated replies. If they’re too broad, you can send messages inadvertently or create message loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rule.
After a rule has processed a message, the message’s status icon changes to a gray arrow to indicate a reply was sent.

Applescript to automatically reply to an email

Hi, I'm trying to create a script in Lion that will send an automatic reply to messages I receive with the subject line "Here's your offer". I am a BCC recipient of these messages, and I want to send the message to the actual recipient, not to the sender.
I created a rule to run an Applescript if the subject is "Here's your offer" but it's not doing anything. Even if it were working, I'm sure it's missing the code to send the message to the recipient in the To: field of the triggering message. I'd love some input on this script:
using terms from application "Mail"
          on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
                    tell application "Mail"
                              repeat with thisMessage in theMessages
                                        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
                                        set thisSender to sender of theMessages
                                        set theNewMessage to reply thisMessage with opening window
                                        tell theNewMessage
                                                  set content to "Test message"
                                        end tell
send theNewMessage
                              end repeat
                    end tell
          end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from

It is possible to create a new mail message using Applescript, and to send the message, or to bring up the new message window for further editing before sending. If, however, you start with the new message window (or a reply window, effectively the same thing) I don't think it is possible to have Applescript manipulate the new message, as there is no reference to it.
Unless your "boiler plate" text is very long, I would suggest looking at TextExpander. I strted using it back when it was freeware, but it has since gone commercial, for around $30, I think. It is a keystroke monitor, and when it sees keystroke sequences which you define it automatically replaces them with (or appends to them - your choice) predefined text. I don't know how long the replacement text can be - I only use short sequences - but you can have any number of sequences. So for example I type a.k.z (dots inserted to stop it working!) and it replaces it with my initials and the html link to my elephant icon. If you go for it I would recommend giving all your sequences the same pattern - mine are all two characters followed by z, so that ordinary words don't get accidentally substituted.

Exchange Server 2010 automatic reply once per day or once per week?

Hello,
can some tell me how often the automatic reply is send in Exchange Server 2010.
Is it once per day for each sender or once per week for each sender?
In the web some tell per week, some tell per day.
Is it possible to change the time shedule, so that each day a automatic reply is send?
Thanks,
Eduard

Hello,
after some googling and consolidating the different examples on the Internet I came up with this powershell script which is executed by the windows task scheduler once a day. The script first gathers all the mailboxes for which the out of office mechanism
is activated. Then it disables the autorepliers for these mailboxes, waits for 10 seconds (this seems to be necessary to let exchange do some housekeeping) and then reenables the autorepliers.
Warning: I have learned that this script resets the time interval of the autoreplier. Any ideas how to preserve the time settings?
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010
$objUsers = get-mailbox | Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.AutoReplyState -eq "scheduled" }
$objUsers | %{ Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration -Identity $_.identity -AutoReplyState disabled}
Start-Sleep -s 10
$objUsers | %{ Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration -Identity $_.identity -AutoReplyState scheduled}
Remember to use -AutoReplyState scheduled instead of -AutoReplyState enabled to reenable. -AutoReplyState enable should only be used for permanent autorepliers and not for "out of office" messages.
Cheers,
Florian

Automatic reply not working

I am trying to get the automatic reply function to work under rules. However the reply just does not seem to work. No message is sent. I have been trying to get the rules to automatically reply if it see's an email to a particular email address but this just does not happen. I have tried deleting the message rules plist and that has not helped either.
Any ideas ?

Mail keeps information about outgoing servers in a separate list, independently of any specific mail account. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems, so let's look at this possibility.
Go to Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn't be there. The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.
BTW, have you tried manually replying to those messages? When you do that, do you observe anything that could be relevant here?

Automatic "Reply To:" field

Can I set up Mail so that every message I send is automatically "Reply To:" a different email address?
We have used yahoo mail for years and don't want to confuse people by changing our email address. However, I would love to use some of the outgoing features in mail. like notes, to-dos, and stationary. I know that I can compose a message and type in a different "Reply To:" email address, but can I set Mail up to do that automatically?
Thanks

I'm a bit confused why you don't just setup your Yahoo account in Mail and use it directly from there instead though.

No automatic "Reply To" option?

After upgrading to Tiger and Mail 2.0.5 I am searching to find the automatic "reply to" thing that I had with the old Mail. I send email from my .mac address, but would like the "reply to" address to be different. I see this is something I can add to each email, but I don't want to type it in every time I send an email. I could set this in preferences before and now don't see it. Any suggestions?

I don't know how you did that either since Apple doesn't allow using a different email address entered in the email address field under the Account Information tab for the account preferences for a .Mac account.
You can add the Reply To: address field for the message header and manually enter the desired reply to email address but a .Mac email address must be used as the sending email address for a .Mac account.
Although you are wanting to use this for valid reason, spammers don't provide a valid sending email address for their bulk spam mailings and this restriction is part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from .Mac's domain.
Some ISPs and other email account providers have the same restriction.

Automatic Reply to E-Mails

How do I set up an automatic reply to the e-mails I receive when I am out of the office for a few days informing people to contact another person?

Yeah, this is stupid because when it auto-replies it puts a COPY OF THAT REPLY right in your Inbox!!! So it's filtering your mail and unless you've made an extra rule to move messages with "Re:" already in them... the infinite loop's going to happen.
How hard is it to have the reply put in the SENT folder -- much like would happen if you manually replied to the message????
So much for it being INTUITIVE!! What's the point of the auto reply feature in the first place then???

How to configure selective automatic reply (out of office) using Exchange2010

Hi, I want to configure automatic reply to eveyone except for some specific mail address - this need need to be configured through the OWA interface and not through the Outlook 2010 client.
Automatic reply (out of office) is limited to all incoming messages (no way to specify exception list of mail) and rules cannot be configured without the outlook client running....
Any ideas?

Hi,
Based on my understanding, you want to configure OOF excluding some specific users, this means that automatic reply shouldn't be sent to these specific users. I'm afraid it's hard to achieve this. The only available way is to emulate this
by using a rule in Outlook.
Best regards,

Automatic reply

Twice I have tried to set up an automatic reply system whilst away fromhome and twice my unfortunate friends and colleagues (and people from elists) have received replies to the entire body of the emails they have sent me which are in mailboxes. As travel quite a lot I need to be able to do this successfully. I do not have the time to put in each email address manually - but need automatic reply to all incoming emails.
Can anyone give me adivce as to how to set up the rule sin such a way that they don't apply to old emails but only to forthcoming eamils.
thanks

Hello Rubidge, welcome to the discussions.
What did you try?
In Preferences/Rules, click Add Rule. Set the conditions to "every message". Set the actions to "colour background yellow". Click OK. When it asks "do you want to apply your rule to messages in open mailboxes" click No, as you only want to apply it to new, incoming messages.
You should now observe that incoming messages are coloured yellow, while existing messages remain as they were. Once you are happy with this, edit the rule (you might to give it a name while you are at it) so that the action is reply, and give the appropriate reply message text. Again, click no when asked if you want to apply the rule.
However, I would reconsider your plan of auto-replying to everything, including lists. List members quite reasonably get annoyed if every message to the list produces a message from you "I can't deal with your email at the moment as I am off having a fantastic time on the ski-slopes". Much better is to restrict it to eg only senders in your address book - you can quickly add them as you read an email with Command-y.
