how do i set up an "out of office" message on Mail?

There is a ay to do it in Mail, using rules, but that's not a very good idea. Homemade rules can cause things like infinite mail loops (where two accounts auto-reply to each others until one or both mailboxes fill up and cannot receive any more messages). See what your mail server offers in this regard. Auto-replies on the server are typically far more reliable and less error-prone.

  • How can I set up an out of office message?

    I use Macmail for my mac.com account and also to receive my business emails through another server.  I have tried to use rules to respond with an "out of office" message but it has not gone well.   The system responded to year old emails and flooded our email.  I have read on some support sites about setting up through the server but I do not understand.  I need a response that is not overly technical as I do not understand what I am reading if tech lingo is used...sorry but I try!

    You might want to check with your email service provider.  They often have this option built into their service.  For example, I have an email account with Verizon.  They have a "vacation" setting that when turned on will send an automatic reply for you.  Your incoming email is otherwise delivered normally.

    How can I set up my email so when I delete mail from my Mac it deletes from my iPhone as well?

    That is a function of your email account, if it is an Imap account it will sync, if it's a POP account, it won't.

    How can I set a signature on my text messages?

    I have iphone4, recently changed my phone number.  Prior to the change all of my outgoing sms showed my name and phone number.  Since I changed the number have not been able to show the new number on outgoing texts. So I don't understand why my number showed before but unable to add it now.....?
    I lost a lot of data when I changed the number so I performed a back-up restore, which restored the data I lost.  But now my text messages are showing my old phone number.....!!
    Any idea how I can change so the new number is displayed?
    I use texting a lot more than I do email with my phone. 

  • How do i set up my iOS devices to see my mail folders from my Mac?

    how do i set up my iOS devices to see my mail folders from my Mac?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your mail folders are actually "on my Mac" then your iOS devices cannot be set up to see them. However, if your mail folders are within your email service account and your email service is an IMAP account, then the folders should sync between devices.

  • Out of Office Messages are Not Sent Out

    Hi there,
    I have an issue with Outlook's Out of Office feature. The Out of Office messages are not sent out (to both internal and external contacts) although it has been already turned on. Only one user is having this particular issue. 
    I've attempted these steps but the issue still persists.
    a) Turning on OOO via OWA
    b) Deleting the current profile and creating a new profile
    Could anybody help me in this?
    Regards,
    Vinod

    Hi Vinod,
    You issue might be related to this:
    "By default, the out-of-office reply to Internet recipients (external senders) is turned off. Many administrators do not allow out-of-office replies to be sent outside the Exchange Server organization, so that unauthorized people do not
    know when users are out of the office. "
    You might want to follow the steps in below KB article to turn on out-of-office replies to the Internet or contact your administrator to check so:

  • Is it possible to use a non-null sender in auto-reply / out of office messages?

    I am using a smarthost that blocks null senders by default.  They have indicated that they can provide an override for our server to allow null senders, but the e-mail from null senders will go out a "high risk" IP that is likely to get
    blacklisted because e-mail from null senders is triggering more blacklisting as of late.  I would prefer to make Exchange populate the sender field on the outbound auto-reply / out of office messages.  Is this possible?

    Hi PRDIT,
    Based on my knowledge, it is impossible to achieve this goal by normal method directly.
    Thanks

  • 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,
    Lene

    As 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.

  • How do I stop out of office message in outlook web exchange on firefox

    A number of ppl ask how to set up öut of office"reply. I have the opposite problem. I set it up when I was using IE. But I cannot see how to stop it from going out. Do I have to go back and make IE my default browser to solve this? (I am using outlook web exchange for email)
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == I noticed it today

    No, all you need to do is to open IE and go to your Outlook Web Exchange preferences and change your setting for out of office responses. Firefox being the default browser doesn't stop you from using IE.

  • How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

    How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails?  Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink.  Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

    If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com.  Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

  • OWA logs user out when they try to set an Out Of Office Message

    After upgrading to Exchange 2013 users can no longer set their Out Of Office (via OWA option 'Set Automatic Replies'). When a user tries to do so via OWA they are immediately logged out and get the error message "The user name or password you entered
    isn't correct. Try entering it again."
    We are currently on CU3, not sure if the problem was introduced in Exchange 2013 initially or once CU3 was applied.
    Users see the same behavior when they try to check a Message Delivery Report via OWA.

  • I just purchased a soundboard, how do I set the sounds as a text message notification?

    I just purchased an iPhone 4 off of Ebay and I am having a difficult time trying to figure out how to set soundboard sounds to my text message notification.  It does not show under my sounds and when I hold down the specific sound it does not give me an option to set it as a notification.  Unfortunately, I just found out the tech support etc are expired so I cannot ask Apple for help without paying for it.  Does anyone know how to set a soundboard sound to a text message notification sound?
