How do I put an 'Out of Office' automatic response to incoming mail please?

I cann't see how to put the 'out of office' message on when on vacation. Please help?!

Using the "rules" method requires that Mail stay running while you are gone and is prone to problems. The biggest problem arrises when you start an "out of office war" with another contact who has done the same thing. Both of your email clients will continually bombard each other with replies.
The best way to set that up is on your email provider's server. You can do this with an Exchange account (in the Account Info settings from within Mail, I think). For an iCloud account, you can set it on the www.icloud.com website under Mail settings.
For other accounts, you will have to ask your email provider.

  • Why can't i put an out of office on my iphone email? Blackberry and other android phones will allow this feature.

    I just purchased my iPhone, one thing I don't like is that with my Blackberry it allowed me to put an Out of Office reply to my emails. I thought the iPhone was a leader!!! Blackberry and other Android phones can do it.

    Why can't you?  Simple..Apple doesn't include that feature.
    Download and use iMExchange instead.

  • Users are not able to use Outlook 2010 to view free/busy information and cannot set Out Of Office automatic reply

    Hi All,
    Please help me.
    I have an issue where users are not able to use Outlook 2010 to view free/busy information and cannot set Out Of Office automatic reply. But they are can set Out Of Office automatic reply from OWA. My exchange server is Ms Exchange 2010.
    The test E-mail AutoConfiguration failed with this error:
    Autodiscover to https://mydomain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml starting
    GetLastError=12175; httpStatus=0.

    Any idea?
    Thanks,

    OK.
    Please follow this step.
    1. As you said you are in coexistence step , so for now all endpoint already point to Exchange 2010 right?
    2. Check legacy owa redirect that you already configure
    3. In Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "Autodiscoverinternaluri" by this command set-clientaccessserver -identity "servername" -autodiscoverinternaluri
    https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml. and don't forget to create autodiscover record in DNS
    4. in Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "EWS" path by this command set-webservicesvertualdirectory -identity "XXX\Default web site name" -internalurl
    https://yourinternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx -externalurl https://yourexternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx
    5. don't forget to replicate freebusy from Exchange 2003 to Excahnge 2010 via public folder.
    You error look like client cannot get autodiscover process please check it again.

  • How do I set an out of office response?

    I'm going out of town and need to set an out of office reply to incoming emails. How do I do this?

    This feature depends on your e-mail provider, but with Apple's iCloud you can do this by logging into icloud.com, clicking the "Mail" application, and then clicking the gear menu at the top-right to get to the preferences. Then go to the Vacation settings and enter a message as an automatic reply to send. Checking the box to automatically reply will enable this feature.
    Alternatively you can set up a rule in Mail on your Mac to act on any received message and send a reply.

  • How do I put firefox out?

    I have installed firefox and now I cannot put it out. I want to installe adobe media player and it is nog possible with firefox on. There is no out button.

    Thanks Chris. Actually, I want to put a shortcut on my desktop screen, not in the tab bar. To do this in IE, I simply right click while I am in the app, a drop down menu appears, and I click on Create a Shortcut. Then when I later turn on my PC and my desktop screen appears, I simply click on the icon for that app (on the Desktop screen) to go directly to it. Does Firefox have this option?
    Also, in Internet Explorer if I have more than one tab open and I go to X out of the tab I am in at the moment, I am given the option of closing all open tabs or just the one I am Xing out of. Does Firefox have this option? Thanks, Jim

  • 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!

  • Project Server 2013 - Out of Office Sync - Only two months in future?!?

    Hello there guys,
    after Long Long search for the problem, I've found out that our Project Server 2013 only syncs the out of Office time from our Exchange Calendar for the next two months.
    But for our Project planning we Need of course a more longtime synchronization, at least 6 or better 12 months.
    I didnt find any Option where I could set it to sync more then 2 months of the out of Office times in the calendars.
    I've spent already so much time on this Problem... When I set the Project Server time 2 weeks(!) in the future, then the sync will also sync two more weeks in the future, but not more.
    The timesheet periods are also set for the next 12 month.
    Does anybody have an Information/help regarding this Problem for me?
    How can I set the Out of Office sync to synchronize more then just 2 months?
    THANK YOU VERY MUCh!!
    Regards
    Lukas Meyer
    PS: Using the current October 2013 CU.

    I've searched the Verbose Log and found the following:
    12/17/2013 14:38:16.32 Microsoft.Office.Project.Server (0x0928) 0x1A6C Project Server Exchange Sync aaubf Verbose PWA:https://servername/PWA, ServiceApp:Project Server-Dienstanwendung, User:PROJECTSERVER\system,
    PSI: Calling service.GetUserAvailability() for user:2c3909bc-d6fb-e211-b239-000c296be823 for period:12/17/2013 00:00:00-02/17/2014 00:00:00, LogLevelManager Warning-ulsID:0x00014045 has no entities explicitly specified. 3a2f619c-f4a0-f018-b62b-b2d1299a489f 
    So the Project Server is only asking for two months of User Availability on the Exchange. Where can I Change this Setting so that the Project Server syncs more then 2 months?
    Otherwise this functionality is quite useless in my view as we are planning our Projects longer then only 2 months...
    Thank you!

  • Outlook 2010 Mail Tips Could Not Be Retrieved / Out Of Office Doesn't work too.

    Hi,
    We have a small set up with 5 pc's and 1 server. All of the workstations are exactly the same.. specs,OS,software etc... 
    One of the users is currently experiencing "Mail Tips Could Not Be Retrieved" issue. 
    It shows up right above the SEND button when replying or sending a new e-mail.
    Also Out Of Office / Automatic Replies function does not want to work as well. It asks me to try again later cause the server is not responding. 
    The funny thing is that this is happening only to a single user.
    Here is what I've tried:
    - Tested E-Mail AutoConfiguration - Autodiscovery works fine and points to the right directory. 
    - Deleted the profile and recreated it ... didn't work
    -  Added the same mailbox to another computer - IT WORKED
    - Checked all the SSL settings for each virtual folder in IIS and they are all set to IGNORE the certificate.
    The other strange thing is that when I try to download the OAB from the affected PC a credential window pops up and asks for the username/password
    of the particular mailbox.. Once I enter them the "Mail Tips could not be retrieved" message disappears and Out Of Office is accessible and ready to be used. 
    Maybe Outlook 2010 setting or registry value ?

    This sounds like an authentication issue for the Autodiscover/EWS URLs and your last paragraph basically confirmed it.
    Is this PC domain joined and is this user logging on with his domain credentials and not locally to the computer?
    Is the user able to access:
    https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
    or
    https://domain.com/autodicover/autodiscover.xml
    An xml-page should be returned with ErrorCode 600 Invalid Request.
    Is there a TMG or UAG server involved here?
    Also check the proxy settings in Internet Options (if configured/required).

  • Out of office automated reply.

    Can anyone help. I'm going on holiday and need an automated out of office reply to my incoming e-mails.

    You can set a Mail Rule to automatically reply to messages (or messages which meet certain criteria) with a predetermined text. Of course this requires your computer to be on and connected 24/7.
    Otherwise your ISP might offer this facility, some do, but you would have to ask them.
    Or, if your ISP offers email forwarding, you could forward your messages to a free Yahoo account (preferably also delivering them as normal): in the Yahoo Mail Options you can set up a 'Vacation Response'.
