Mail auto reply - vacation message

Can anyone tell me where I need to go to do "out of the office message" or "auto reply". Im using mac.com on my email. Is it on mac.com or in the mail somewhere? Thanks

Go to Mail>Help and type Reply in the query box. Then select "sending replies automatically" but read the entire explanation so you are aware of the hazards. By logging on my ISP website I can set up this function. The one from my ISP works well so you might want to look into that option if your ISP provides it.

Preventing Loops Mail Auto Reply

Using the Apple Mail client I've been unable to figure out how to set up an auto reply rule that also prevents message loops. Can someone help with this, please?
Thanks

Well, obviously by not sending the auto-reply to one of the mail accounts you’ve set up in Mail or by specifying the appropriate conditions in the rule so that messages sent by yourself aren’t auto-replied to. More specific information is needed if you want a more specific answer...
BTW, there is no way you could be using both Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mail 1.3 simultaneously, as your profile indicates. Please, update your My Settings’s profile (and click Save). And if you’re really running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.

Copy previous mail in reply in Messaging

When replying to email in Messaging, anyone found a way to have the mail being responded to auttomatically copied into the reply as Outlook and many web clients do?

Messaging app originally not supposed to do it. All Android devices uses emails, and not messaging for emails. I do not own a D2, but when I owned my Cliq it was just nice added feature that messaging showed emails in it as well. I believe it was convenient to have everything put into one app. Sure it would be nice to have it do what you want. Best option is to send a enhancement request to Motorola, and if there is enough requests they may implement something.

Can I use Mail to reply Hotmail messages through Gmail?

I have Hotmail and Gmail.
Hotmail is my main account that I use for general things on the web. I have it since 95 and I don't want to terminate it.
I have Mac Mail and Hotmail POP3 does not sync well with it. It does with Gmail.
My question is. Can I fetch emails from Hotmail with Gmail on my Mac Mail and when I reply the recipient sees it as Hotmail email instead of Gmail email? Does that make sense?
I want people to receive a Hotmail email, even though I am using Gmail to fetch it on my Mail app.
Thanks for any feedback.

Do you have an email account provided by your ISP, that is POP perhaps? If so, then depending on the policies of your ISP, you may be able to add the Hotmail address to the email address address entries for that POP account, and with the SMTP of your ISP, send from the Hotmail address. Many ISP provided SMTP do not restrict the From address you use, so long as the account with is active (usable).
More info, please.

Is there a way to manage iCloud mail auto reply on my iPhone?

Can't seem to find a way to do this.
It would be very useful to be able to manage this feature from my iphone or ipad when I am actually away and use it.
In advance, thanks.

Your answer should be here:

Another suggestion is to login and manage your mail from icloud.com/mail

Message id in auto-reply

Dear All,
Can we remove the message-id from the auto-reply?

Message-id: <[email protected]>

From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]

Though optional, every message SHOULD have a "Message-ID:" field.
Furthermore, reply messages SHOULD have "In-Reply-To:" and
"References:" fields as appropriate, as described below.

So coming back to my earlier question, why would you want to eliminate the message-id: field?

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Is this sent from a Roadrunner account, or another? Do you also have a .mac account?

Cannot get new messages to download automatically and auto reply with out of office message have to manually check for new messages to get it to do this

I am using Mozilla Thunderbird 31.3.0. I know how to create a message filter to set up an auto reply message, but cannot get Mozilla to automatically download new message and auto reply with the message in the filter unless I manually check for new messages, that is the only way to make it work. I have looked online and can't seem to find an answer to this particular issue. According to anything that I have found, I have the correct boxes checked in server settings: check for new messages at startup, automatically check for new messages, check for new messages every x amount of minutes. It's one thing to have to leave my computer on and Thunderbird open to make this work, but to have to manually check for new messages to get the auto response to work defeats the whole purpose of having an auto reply, as I use them for vacations, holidays, etc. I have wondered if there are any security settings that are causing this issue, but if so, I don't know what changes to make to them. Thanks in advance for any help. This is driving me crazy.

I do find it a bit odd that Thunderbird is not getting mail on schedule, perhaps you have an add-on or anti virus program that prevents that.
Holding shift while you start Thunderbird will start with add-ons disabled to check if mail come automatically.
Airmail is right though, use Verizons auto responder. This link might help with that http://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/highspeed/account+tools/email+tools/questionsone/85621.htm#
You say that not having such a setting in Thunderbird is something that needs fixing. This idea comes on the whole because Outlook has such an option. what most people are not aware of it only works with Exchange server. There is no "vacation response" in server mail specifications so every server implements it differently.
Just as all cars have a radiator, you can not take any radiator and just put it in, they are subtly different even though they perform the same purpose. Same goes for the various vacation responders, They perform the same purpose but they differ between email server software brands.
Thunderbird leaves it to the server end to expose the functionality, as they are really the only ones who understand what they did. Outlook exposes the option and mostly greys it out.

Mac Mail Rule - auto reply not sending while computer off

I created a Rule to send an out of office message while I was on vacation. I made the rule active and tested it from a different email account, and it worked.
While I was gone my computer was turned off. I was receiving emails, but no auto-reply message went out. When I got back to the office and booted up my computer and opened Mac Mail, it was then that all of my auto-reply messages went out. So, if someone emailed me a week before, they did not receive any auto-reply until I booted up my computer and opened Mac Mail. If someone had emailed me 5 times while I was gone, they received 5 auto-reply responses when I returned and booted up the computer and opened Mac Mail.
How can I make it so that Mac Mail sends the auto-reply while I am away and the computer is off?

I don't think you can send e-mails when the computer is off and the program is shut down. Try setting up a reply on your e-mail provider's web site.

Vacation message (auto responder) struggle

I want to set up a vacation (auto responder) message using Thunderbird to let clients who email me during the next week know I'll be out of the office. My problem is: one section of Thunderbird Help suggests it can do this (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/set-mozilla-thunderbird-autoresponses-scheduled-emails/ - Note: the friend who suggested this link says using this process will require someone "turning Thunderbird on" - I don't understand what she means - will someone have to come into my office and constantly turn my machine on/off?); another section of Thunderbird Help says it has no good way to set up vacation messages and I should eg use Google or Yahoo etc (not option for me at moment) (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/vacation-response).
Thanks!

Please check with your mail provider first; if they offer this feature then it's by far the most sensible option. They are geared up for 24/7 operation and have fallbacks and contingency plans for power outages and equipment failures, etc.
If you are going to delegate this task to Thunderbird, you must leave Thunderbird running. So you must leave your computer running, and your internet connection running. Since you may receive messages at ''any'' time, you must leave it running and connected ''all'' the time,
Why bother to send someone in to switch it off and on? (And login as you! Not safe!)
Of course, none of this necessarily avoids messages accumulating in your mailbox and filling your account, though if Thunderbird is left running, it will collect and download messages in a POP-connected account. The main benefit is that correspondents will understand that they should not expect an immediate reply from you.

Vacation message in Mail

Hello all,
Recently I used rules as recommended in Mail's help center to send an automated reply while I was out of town. Within minutes the $#!@ program sent hundreds of this message to the mail senders already in my mail box and it did it to the same people dozens of times! It was HORRIBLE. I am going out of town again and need to set a vacation message but cannot have a repeat of that disaster. Is there another way to do this? Or can someone clearly explain the proper way to do it? I have my own mail server that I channel through mail (not a .mac account) but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it there either. Help!
thank you!
