Kill auto-responses?

Is there a plist line of code I can add to iCal that will keep me from sending auto responses to my meeting invites? This is the most annoying thing of iCal for me right now. The other day I had to delete my entire calendar and iCal thought it was necessary to send every single person a thoughtful meeting decline notice. After 3 hours and over 640 decline notices which crashed Mail.app, I was ready to throw in the towel.
ANYONE HAVE A WAY TO GET RID OF THIS RIDICULOUS "FEATURE"?

nobody knows the answers to iCal problems except Apple and they're not talking...

Is there a way to create a rule that sends and Auto Response for a shared mailbox?

I have a shared mailbox set up that receives emails that are sent to 3 different addresses:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
I would like to create a rule that would send an auto response when someone emails one of these addresses. However, I don't want an auto response sent to [email protected] so I can't just set up an "out of office" reply for the mailbox.
Is there a way that I can create a rule to send an automated response to 2 of the 3 addresses?
Nate

Hi
we can enable the shared mailbox in ADUC and create Outlook rules for it in Outlook to achieve it. please follow these steps:
1. In Active Directory Users and Computers, right-click the shared mailbox and click Enable Account.
2. Configure the Outlook account for the shared mailbox in Outlook.
3. Click Rules > Manage Rules & Alerts.
4. Create a rule like the following format:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
Have server reply using a specific message
Except if the subject contains specific words
Select exception(s) (if necessary) of the Outlook Rule - (“except if from people or public group“)
5. Apply the auto reply rules for this shared mailbox.
Then users can receive auto reply of the shared mailbox except the exceptions we have set when they send messages to this shared mailbox.

On the Apple Watch, has anyone figured out a way (if possible) to remove some of the redundant auto responses available when using Messages?

There are some responses that always show which I would never use, such as BRB, that I'd like to completely remove. There are other responses that are excessively redundant. I don't need Thx, Thanks, Thank you. and Thanks! as separate available auto responses every single time. Anyone else had better luck figuring that out?
Overall I'm really liking the Watch so far. The only thing bringing it down is sone of those small details.

Visit the Apple Watch app, then go to My Watch > Messages > Default Replies.
You can add your own but there will still be Apple auto default replies too.
Kinda lame. Hope there's a new option to get rid of those in the future. I'd rather ALWAYS dictate and not have those 'smart responses' there at all.

Vacation auto response in Mac OS X Lion Server

I just built a new Lion server for email. It worked nicely until I found that the server side rule will only work when the first short name in the list (the list you can create in server admin) is being used as the recipient. For example, vicding is my username, when people send to [email protected], the vacation server side rule works well, the sender will get a auto reply states that I am on vacation. However, when people send to my other short name, like [email protected] The vacation auto response will not be sent, but other rules (which do not triger MTA, like move the email to other folder) run well.
Please help!!! As the vacation season is coming, need it to work urgently.
Thanks a lot.

Seems to be solved in 10.7.4

Cannot turn off auto response in Mac Mail rules.

I set up a vacation auto response as a rule on Mac Mail. Now the auto response is still running but does not appear under the rules in my Mail preferences. How do I turn it off? I did not set it up under my server.

Hey Barbara Rohrer,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It might be helpful to delete and re-add your account from the Preferences menu. Please note, that if the account is setup as POP, this may remove the email messages from your computer.
For more help, see http://www.apple.com/support/mail/
Thanks,

Mail.app is an email client not a server. it needs to be aware of an email to do anything with it. for that it has to pull that email from the server and it can't do anything otherwise. same goes for any other email client. some servers do allow server side rules but you would have to check if your does. it wouldn't have anything to do with the email client (such as Mail.app) you are using.

Help setting auto response rules in Apple Mail

Hi,
I am trying to setup an auto response for my Apple Mail. I need to configure my mail account to automatically respond to someone when they email me. However, if that individual were to email me again, they would not receive a response because one was already sent. I know this may be slight confusing so I included a step-by-step outline below:
1. I receive an email from a client
2. An auto response replies, "Thank you blah, blah"
3. The same individual sends me another email
4. No automated response because one has already been sent to this sender.
Thanks again for anyones help and or direction!

Mail does not have such a feature. I'm not even sure there's a third-party solution for you, but check at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Problem wit auto response on my .mac mail -- keeps sending.

I set up an auto response for my mac mail address. I then sent myself an email to see if the auto response was working. It works, except it works like spam. It just automatically kept sending me email after email after email, up to 20 of them. So I closed out my email on my computers, then reopened, and they started auto sending again.
I've been having an issue with mail doing this. I had an app on iPhone and then deleted the app. I kept getting automatic mail sent to me that was like I sent an email to THEM, except I never did. I would get up to 250 emails as fast as they could be sent BING BING BING BING.
Happens anywhere I get .mac and .me mail.
Anyone know why the auto responder went whacko? LOL
Thanks

So, if I'm understanding correctly, you're not currently having this problem, but did before you set up iCloud? Or is your old MobileMe auto-responder still functioning, but not showing up in iCloud in Mail's rules or vacation message settings? If the latter, you'll need to contact Apple about that, so they can fix it on their end.
I don't remember how it worked in MobileMe, but in iCloud, you can set up some very basic rules and there is a separate setting for a vacation message. An auto-responder provided by the server like that ought to be okay-ish. It shouldn't create mail loops, since the people who wrote the code for it know their stuff when it comes to e-mail protocols. However, if you used a rule that you created yourself (which doesn't look possible on iCloud, as there's not a "reply" action), that could cause mail loops.
Of course, even the best auto-responder is only okay-ish, because there are going to be messages that you get that you wouldn't want it to reply to, but it's going to anyway. Like spam that didn't get caught by spam filters.
As to the forums, I'd guess this would be best posted in one of the iCloud forums, probably the iCloud on my Mac forum. I can ask the hosts to move this topic there, but in the future, what you want to do is go to the home page and scroll down to the list of "communities" (ie, forums) and select one first.
Thanks for the info on how you posted... many of us regulars have been wondering why so many misplaced posts have been showing up in this forum lately! That's valuable information that we can use to alert the hosts to a potential problem with the interface of the site.

Mail 6.0 and auto response

According to default setting, mail 6.0 sends out auto response if Mail 6.0 is running. The reason of setting an out-of-office response is that most of the time mail 6.0 is NOT running, so correspondents will not be informed that they cannot expect an answer until a certain date.
Can someone help me with a setting that Mail 6.0 responds automatically even when Mac is shut off?
Thank you
Matyas

Mail cannot send a response if it isn't running. There's no setting that will change that. However, depending on what service you use for email, it can be done at the server level. For example, if you use iCloud, go here and log on. Click on the Mail icon and then on the gear icon in the top right corner. Select Preferences and then select Vacation.

I submitted an email but the auto response indicates I have to wait up to 48 hours for a response. Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous???

Why isn't there a phone number for iTunes Support? My only iTunes Support contact option is email. I submitted an email but the auto response indicates I have to wait up to 48 hours for a response! Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous???

oh whoops i forgot to tell you, i didn't actually find apple's number, although i think they have one.........what i did was i went onto the express lane and when through a series of steps and typed in my phone number and it was SUPER fast. It scared me that as soon as i pressed enter, not more than 30 seconds later, my phone started ringing. But that's the one you have to pay for.....

Mail and auto response

Rules - Auto Response to email
I will be at a convention, trying to establish a rule for auto response. Have followed all the instructions as I know them. The auto message doesn't appear and the message loops. The only way I have been able to correct it is to delete the rule. Does anyone know the correct syntax to set up an auto response and how do you keep it from looping. I am using the following:
Name of Rule -- Out of Office
Conditions
To
Begins with
my name
Reply to message
Reply message text
Would appreciate any assistance available

It works for me, so maybe there's something wrong with your Rule. Maybe you should try having the To condition be so that it Contains your name instead of beginning with it.

Auto response

Can I set up an "auto response" in Mail while I'm away on vacation?

Yes by creating a Rule in Mail but this requires leaving the Mail application launched and running while you are away which may not be a good idea.
Your email account provider for this email account probably includes such an option at the incoming mail server for the account via webmail access for the account preferences. If so, I recommend setting this up there instead.

Anyone have the link to Auto Response?

I have a new Mac and need the link to( Auto Response) as I can find it. Please help.
thanks in advance!
