HT1146 add an automatic reply onto email

How do I add an automatic reply to Email?

Hey The garden Doctor,
Check out the following instructions, it'll go over how to have Mail automatically reply to messages:
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.
Choose Mail > Preferences, and then 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 reply that it sends.
Mail must be running to automatically reply to messages, because rules aren’t processed when your Mac is shut down or you’re logged out. To set up automatic replies while you’re on vacation, ask your account 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 rules.
After a rule has processed a message, the message’s status icon changes to a gray arrow to indicate that a reply was sent.

N Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending. Anybody have any idea how to stop this?

In Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending.? Anybody have any idea how to stop Mail from including my email address in the cc line when using "reply all"?

Automatically cc myself is not checked. I did find out that if you have multiple email address that all of them need to be associated with "My Contact" tab. Thanks

Does my mac automatically create an email contact list (that I can go to) as I compose emails or do I have to manually add contacts into my address book?

Does my mac automatically create an email contact list, or do I have to manually add emails to my address book?

Hi there. You email contact list is in your address book. These are from a list you make or by you emailing someone. If you are talking about setting up email so to send and receive. With a clean install that is done when you set up you computer. Otherwise you have to open mail and go to mail preferences/accounts and set up your email account. http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201728 http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1277

Automatic "Reply to" address when sending emails?

Is there a way to automatically include an address in the "Reply to" field in all my outgoing emails, similar to the way Mail can automatically put your own address in the CC or BCC field?

Oh, I just found two possible ways in another thread but they have serious drawbacks:
1. Change the "send new email from" address in the prefs. Unfortunately Mail won't let me create an account with my desired email address because the address I want to use has the same host and user name as my "From" address.
2. Go into Terminal and make a permanent "Reply To" address. This method is so arcane and scary that I really don't like the idea, plus it's unchangeable.
Apple should offer an option to include an automatic "reply to" feature. If they don't, they dropped the ball on that one.

Automatic Reply for all emails

Dear All,
We have this scenario in our company.
We are about to change our domain name in our emails. i.e. [email protected] to [email protected]
For a period of time we want to have a general automatic reply in our old emails (for every email we receive) which will mention the change and inform people to send their emails to the new address.
Is there a way of creating a global automatic reply? We use office 365.
Thank you in advace,

Hi,
From the description, you want to deploy the automatic reply settings for all users in the environment, correct? Since the Automatic Reply settings are controlled by the server side, we may consider to change the settings from server side. See:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2011/09/08/configure-automatic-replies-for-a-user-in-exchange-2010.aspx
Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Office client side issue, I'd recommend you post a new question in the following forum to get further assistance:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/158.aspx
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

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 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.

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

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.

Outlook automatically sending blank emails

My Outlook is automatically replying to my emails with a blank message. My autoreply is turned off. I have changed my password and done a virus scan with no luck in reversing this problem.

Hi,
Which version of Outlook are you using?
Does this issue happen to all emails you received?
Does this issue continue if we receive emails from webmail site?
Please make sure you don't have any rule set to automatically send out emails. To check this, click Home tab > Rules > Manage Rules & Alerts, and then check if there is any related rule in the rules list.
If you installed any third-party add-in, please also try to temporarily disable the add-in and then test the issue again. If you have a virus scanner installed, please note that it may integrate itself with Outlook, which may also cause this issue. Please
contact the virus scanner support and disable the integration into Outlook to see the result.
Please let me know the result.

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:

How can I keep images when replying to emails?

Hello,
My company have recently changed email signatures to one that includes a lot of images. When you send an email from Outlook the image displays perfectly on iphone 5-so good so far! However when you try to reply to an email from iphone the images are not included in the reply and the signature looks untidy.
If I click forward instead of reply on my iphone, I am given the option to "include attachments from the original message?". If I click "include" then the forwarded email signature appears as it should; if I click "don't include" the email signature does not display the images correctly as above.
Is there a way to have the "include attachments from original message?" option when replying to emails on iphone 5 (iOS 6.1.4)?
Thanks

Right-click the page, choose View Page Info, and click the Permissions tab. There you can turn off automatic loading of images (uncheck Use default first to enable the controls). Any luck?
There might be a way to restore that more direct right-click menu item if you need it frequently, but I haven't researched it.
To clean up a page for printing, you also could consider an add-on like the following: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ Print Edit :: Add-ons for Firefox]. Then you wouldn't have to re-enable images each time.

Hi my name is Catherine I have downloaded digital editions and a book to my PC but wish to read this on an iPad. I have downloaded Digital Editions on the iPad and don't know how to authorize it. Will the book automatically download onto the iPad once tihis is done and I open my account on the iPad?

YOu can also use Bluefire Reader for reading books that need an Adobe ID. There are several ways to transfer a book to your iPad. One way is to email the acsm file, open the email on the iPad, and "Open in ... ". Another way is to use an app like Dropbox. The third way is to connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select the iPad, and under Settings select Apps. Scroll down to the File Sharing apps, select the app you want the book on, on the right select Add, navigate to where the book is on your computer, and select it. Open the app on your iPad and it should load.

Microsoft Outlook 2010 & 2013 cannot set automatic reply settings

Hello,
We cannot seem to set automatic reply's within outlook 2010 & 2013. We have an exchange server 2010. We
can setup automatic reply through OWA absolutely fine. The error that we receive is 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.
However we can setup out of office on any other office version below 2010 fine. We have run through
a number of tests and have come to the conclusion that the auto discover service is not configured correctly. I have been told to run through the following
"We need to make sure the IIS service is assigned to the certificate which includes mail.mydomainname.co.uk
name:

Then restart IIS service
to apply the changes.
If the user is connect
to mailbox from external environment as your test results, it is recommended to add the autodiscover.mydomain.co.uk name in your certificate with IIS service. If so, the autodiscover
service can be accessed successfully in your posted second steps(https:/autodiscover.mydomain.co.uk/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml). Alternatively, if you don’t want to change your certificate configuration, we need to create a new SRV record for mail.mydomainname.co.uk

with the certificate hash' 62C247B3BD081D0A8B074D4A928A76E6DA3BABBA' and '71ADF367E190E269C1036BBF4A09C55E62536791'.
I opened up the Exchange Management
Console to confirm that the IMAP, POP, IIS, and SMTP services are bound to both of the certificates for 'mail.companyname'.co.uk
I need to know if it is okay to proceed in replacing the certificate and running this
command.
Thank you

Hi,
We have this problem with some of our users, in that they get the server unavailable error when trying to activate the out of office.
In our case this is because the Proxy is blocking the connection from the PC to the Exchange, so we just go to Internet Options - Connections - LAN Settings - Advanced (under proxy server) then just add *.domain.com into the Exceptions box at the bottom.
This seems to resolve the issue and allow them to set their out of office. The only reason this reoccurs for these users is because their roaming profile for some reason won't save the proxy settings, which is a different issue.
Hope this helps.
