Away from Office notification

Mail 2.1.3
How does one automatically reply to incoming mail with the message that one will be away from his/her office for a specific period of time and will not be able to respond to incoming mail until that time is over?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

  • Accessing iCal away from office

    Hi!
    I have a simple question.
    I have an iMac in my studio, and I store all my appointments there. I just need to access them from somewhere else, like my home for instance. The iMac stays on 24/7...
    iMac G5 2.1Ghz 20" iSight   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    You can publish your calenders and then subscribe to the calender you published from wherever you want and that way you will see your home calender.
    Right click the calender you would like to see from somewhere else and then select "Publish" from the drop down list. Just follow the prompts and that should sort it out.

  • Migrating from office 365 to OSX Server 2.2.1 Mail server.

    hi folks,
    I am considering setting up an OSX Server v 2.21 and using it as my main mail server at home, and migrating away from office 365, and using the OSX mail server as my main server. I have my own domain name, and i would be the only user of the mail server.
    I would be running this on a mac mini i7 with 16 GB ram.
    what anti virus / spam applications are there available for the mac mail server?
    thanks.

    The power in your computer is fine.  I was just trying to warn you that if any network requests come in the server configuration immediately priorises that higher than interacting with the user sitting that the keyboard.  Apps you are using may stutter until the network request has been answered.  Of course, if you don't have many network users and with a computer that powerful, it probably won't take the server long enough to answer the network request that you notice any problem.
    No webmail portal for mail, and no easy way to add one.  Just mail apps using POP, SMTP, etc..
    Here's the manual for OS X Server if you're interested:

  • How do I access my iMac remotely when working away from the office?

    I work away from the office for much of the time.  How can I access my iMac remotely?

    Unless this is critcal for some reason I would not do this.  Unless you understand all the techinolticcal pit falls you can leave your computer dangerusly exposed doing this.  If you are not technical your best bet is going to be to get a wireless router with built in VPN support ($200 - $500) to give you a secure connection home.  And then you will need the Apple Remote Desktop app ($90 I think) and even then it will only work if your work compute is also a Mac.  There are probably other comerial apps that will let you remote into your Mac desktop on windows but will probably be in the $200 price range.

    Does your server have a limit?

  • Away from the office messge

    Hi,
    I can't seem to find instructions for configuring mail to answer incoming messages with an automatic notice that I'll be away from the office until....
    How do I do that?
    Thanks!

    Hi Leslie,
    The mail application does not offer an auto-responds feature. Who is your email provider? Several email providers will offer a way to enable this via webmail so the responder is created on the server level, versus on the client level. Do you have Gmail, Yahoo! or Mobile Me/.Mac?

  • I see noticed that other peoples notification bar  tell them information like your this many minutes away from your house or it's this many degrees outside and stuff like that but mine doesn't how can I turn that type of stuff on?

    Ask these people what Apps they've installed that provides those features. Once you find out 'buy' those apps, install them and configure them to notify you of that information.

  • Is there a location aware wifi option (or app) that enables wifi at a specific location (home) and automatically disables it when you are away from the specified location?

    I manually turn off my wifi when leaving home for several reasons:
    1. I don't want my wifi to be on and constantly scanning wifi networks while I am away from home due to privacy reasons.  Many retail stores and airports are now tracking users based on their smartphone's wifi pings.  They can then store your phone's MAC address (the unique identifier of your phone) to determine how often you visit the store and where you go within the store.  It's just a matter of time before they match up your phone's MAC address with your credit card/payment info and then to your identity.  The only way to subvert this is to turn off your phone's wifi.
    2. For security reasons: Wifi access points can track devices that broadcast their wifi signal, even if they don't ever actually connect to the access point's network.  These access points can then store your device's details including your phone's MAC address.  Once your phone's MAC address is discovered, it can be targeted by a hacker.  In addition, there are multiple well known hacker tools that can be used to scan for smartphone wifi signals in order to detect and then hack your iphone.  Bottom line: if your wifi is discoverable, then your device is hackable.
    3. I believe it would save battery life if the iphone's wifi is not on and constantly scanning for networks all the time.
    There are other reasons as well, but the above are my 3 main reasons for asking about this.
    The reminders app is location aware - you can set reminders to alert you when you are at a specific location.  So, why not provide the option (or an app) to only enable wifi when you are at home - or any other location where you have an authorized or trusted wifi?
    As it is right now, the iphone's wifi is broadcasting 24/7 everywhere you go.  Not great for privacy & security.  When I turn off my wifi, the phone uses my 4G plan for data and GPS for location services... so wifi is not needed at all for data or location services while I am away from home (and no, wifi does not improve location accuracy, that is a fallacy... there is nothing within the wifi protocol that could ever improve location accuracy).  But the point is, wifi should have a location aware option.  Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before there is a headline story about how not having this feature is a huge security/privacy problem.

    Understood.  However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question.  It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point.  Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
    http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
    The point is that it's not  secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode.  It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office).  Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
    (1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
    (2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
    (3) Off.

  • Time Machine and Powerbook away from external hard drive

    According to Apple's Web site:
    +"When your mobile Mac is connected to your backup drive, Time Machine works as you’d expect. When it isn’t connected, Time Machine also works as you’d expect. It keeps track of which files have changed since the last backup and backs them up accordingly."+
    except this doesn't seem to be happening for me.
    Everything is exactly as I'd expect when I'm in the office connected to my external hard drive - hourly backups during the day. However, if I'm away from my desk for a few hours and then come back to the hard drive and plug it in I'd expect (from the description above) to see the hourly backups appear in time machine for when I had my Macbook switched on. If I'm away for a couple of days I'd expect to see one backup per day.
    So, here is my question, if I'm not actually connected to my firewire attached Lacie hard drive is Time Machine doing anything? It would help me if I create a file away from my desk that I have the hourly time machine backups held locally to retrieve if needed. If this is not the way it works, it's not the end of the world for me, I just need to be aware that the latest backup will be when I had the external drive connected and I'm getting nothing while I'm away - and maybe Apple chould clarify their marketing blurb .
    David.

    You are welcome.
    Also keep in mind that while the drive is connected you can initiate a Back Up Now at any time (right click the Time Machine icon in the dock). So if you are about to try something worrisome or complex with your system or your data files, you can trigger a backup, do your task, and know the backup is there to recover from so long as it's still the same day. I.e., you can make the incremental backups happen more frequently than hourly by explicitly requesting them when you want them.
    The thing that confuses most people is probably this idea of hourly backups becoming daily and then weekly. They are not merged when that happens. Of all the backups taken in a given day, only one survives. And of the seven of those in a given week, only one survives, even though there is still plenty of room on the drive. And when the drive runs short of room the oldest backups start getting deleted (although you are asked before that happens, just in case you want to start afresh with a new drive). So the backup that survives as the daily backup is a complete snapshot of your file system at that specific point in time, without regard to changes that might have been captured in other hourly backups during the same day.
    So Time Machine works best with files that stick around for a while or when you discover a file has been accidentally damaged or deleted relatively soon after that happens.

  • Since FF4 I can't connect with my ISP away from home. I see similar questions, but no s0lutions. I am on FF 8 now. Anybody listening?

    When I try to connect with my ISP when away from home, it refuses to allow me to send email. In earlier versions of FF I was able to do so, before FF4 or so. I contacted my ISP and this was their reply:
    ''''''''The reason you can’t send is probably because you are using Firefox. For some reason anything newer than Firefox 4.0 some of the buttons don’t work on our mobile email system. We recommend using IE to load our website instead.

  • Stay away from BT - my personal experience

    Hi,
    My name is Rubens Kubiak, joined BT on 22nd March. So far, BT has been the worst ISP I've ever seen - by far.
    I placed the order through phone.... decided about the broadband package and landline calling plan, perfect.
    A few days later, I called BT to inform that the starter package should be delivered in my office, as I would be away from home (where the broadband would be installed). I received a phone call and an email confirming the change, and the package would be delivered then to my office address.
    What a surprise? Nothing arrived in my office. They tried to deliver it.... at my home. Unbelievable, with all the planning beforehand, phone calls and e-mails and confirmations. A really bad start.
    I just managed to get the package in the Post Office by saturday (23rd). Installed and everything was working fine.... for about one hour. Then... got disconnected. About three minutes, no internet. Then, since 23rd March, every single day I got disconnected about 10 times a day. It lasts about 2 or 3 minutes, but is really annoying for a service that is not cheap and should work smoothly. Now the best part. Try to call BT. Try to reach the technical support. IT IS A JOKE. During the day, takes about 30 minutes (if you're veeery lucky) to speak to a human being. Today I waited 1h40min.... with no answer at all.
    Well.... P2P connections (torrent, etc) are also highly controlled by BT, and is practically impossible to download a file. The speeds are really low. Fine, I agree with the policy, so everybody can have a good connection. But nobody tells you that when you're purchasing the broadband via phone. Even when you tell the operator that you want a complete and unlimited package because you download too much. They should have been decent and tell the facts straight away! They should have explained me that.... don't you think BT?
    Now, speaking with the tech support.... they told me that's normal during the first two weeks or twenty days the connection being unstable..... it's a period of stabilisation. Period of stabilization? When purchasing the package through phone, nobody ever alerted me about this facts. They told me now, that I'm facing the problem. Not good, BT.
    Now they told me to wait until 5th or 6th of April to see if the problem is solved. What is that? I'm paying for a product...... that nobody told me would be unstable for a while..... and why on earth should I be patient?
    I hate things like this..... loads of excuses.
    I purchased a product, and I'm not happy at all...... delivery was a joke, the seller hid important facts about the service, and now the best part: trying to explain I'm not happy at all, and want to cancel the whole stuff. I've been a customer for 5 days..... and just want to ship the equipment back, pay for the month I've used and forget about BT.
    But..... mo make me feeling like a clown, BT wants to charge me THREE HUNDRED SIXTY SOMETHING for cancelling the service.... as contract cancellation fee.
    C'mon BT. You guys should be ashamed! Anyway....  BT is not authorized anymore in my bank account. I'll pay for the installation, for the service I've used.... but I'm not going to pay any kind of cancellation charge.
    It's been less than a week I'm a customer..... and already a unhappy one. I just want to forget BT and go for another ISP.
    Well... that's my personal experience, and my personal thoughts....sorry about being rude sometimes.... but BT is driving me crazy here!
    I'm moving away from BT by the end of the month, maximum....... anyone experiencing the same problem????

    Hi rubenskc
    I can understand that you are annoyed about the delivery and if you didnt know about the stabiisation period.
    The stabilisation period really should have been explained on the call, but as others have posted, its an important part of activation in order to get the best speed from your line.
    Best to leave the hub alone to do its thing and dont be tempted to reset.  Have you noticed any improvements since it was activated?
    Thx
