Setting mail vacation message on Ipad

Is it correct that there's no way of setting an 'away on vacation' message on the iPad in Mail or ICloud
I know how to do it on the Mac but if I forget to do it before I go away, I haven't found a way of setting it on iPad itself
I did see something in the discussions about downloading Photon Browser App but that didn't seem suitable and wasn't free as posted
Any other creative ideas?

I see why I've confused you.
Your original reply had this . http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/5/how-create-automated-out-office-reply
When one follows the link the first part deals with setting up 'on vacation' in Rules on a desk top then there's follow 'this tip' down the page for setting up on an IPhone or iPad where the reference to a Yahoo account appears
The article is written by Jim Kippen
Sorry I confused you with him

Default vacation message sent even after setting new vacation message

Even after setting a new vacation message, the default vacation message still
gets sent out.

Hi huddie71,
Thank you for your question.
I've raised the limits on their mailbox, and the aforementioned connector settings, etc.,
except the Organization Configuration / Hub Transport / Global Settings / Transport Settings / Maximum Receive and Send Sizes.
By my understand, we could modify the global settings by the following path:
Organization Configuration / Hub Transport / Global Settings / Transport Settings / Maximum Receive and Send Sizes.
Because it will work on existed user and new user without explicit message size limits sets.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim
Hi Jim-Xu. That would result in everyone getting an increased limit. I only want one person to have an increased limit. See the 2nd paragraph in my original post.

Mail uncounted messages on iPad

Hello,
previously i used gmail a lot but had changed it for a half year to iCloud. I still like iCloud mail but it does have some things which is annoying. Apple, please fix updating counter of unread messages in real time, i mean when i read message on my iPhone or Mac it must be extremely fast to mark it as read on my iPad using Push, but it does not do anything and after hour it still to be the same - not read, just after launching mail.app it check what messages is read or unread.
Thank you. Hope it will be fixed in nearist update.

Actually i did not get what are you talking about. So, to disable Badge App Icon in Mail Notifications.. Then what are other steps?
When i did switch off notifications it is logical that mail application does not show counter at all.

My ipad has stopped syncing my calendar. Both iPhone and ipad. After going to the setting - mail, contacts,calendar my Ipad has no where under the calendar category for default calendar. How can I get my calendar to sync between iPhone and ipad???

Up until recently my calendar were syncing (between my iPhone 4 & ipad mini). They are no longer synching. I have searched and everything matches to all the resolutions, the problem is on my ipad under Calendars in the settings there is no option for "default calendar". Every other option matches to what is on my phone, just the default calendar option is missing. The default email is the same for both. Help!!!!
Thank you
Penelope190

An interesting additional symtom is that items loaded in the PC (which immedialely duplicate to the iCloud calendar on eht PC - no worries, there) do not transpose the devices (as above) but, loading an item into the phone, it goes to the PC (which is fine, too). But not to the iPad. Interestingly, there fewer calendar display options on the iPad than on the phone.
I talked to Apple a few months ago (after ISO 5) - mainly about the 6000 plus addresses that suddenly appeared in my Contacts - and his advice was do all contact and calendar actions on the PC. "icloud is still faulty"
So there we are! I must have items and reminders in my PC - it is my main work station - and need them on my devices to avoid conflicts when away from my office.

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!

This function works before, older user still be able to set vacation message with no problem.
Please help.
Thanks

Are you able to update the vacation message for the problem user using the Messenger Express interface instead - this will help to isolate the potential cause?
-Can't access messenger express interface
Do you see an errors in the webserver error logs when you attempt to save the preference, or if you have UWC logging enabled, in the uwc.log file?
-There is no error messages in webserver error log, in uwc.log there are some messages but I do not think it helps.

-No, I did not make any changes.

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 messages with iMS 5.2?

How long does it take the server to update when a user sets a vacation message? I've had users set them up and nothing happens for hours it seems. I run a dirsync and still nothing happens. Then, magically, after a few hours, the vacation message will start to work. What gives?

iMS will fix headers in messages that it considers to be non-compliant and in some cases will insert another header letting you know it did that. Try sending a message from the command line and do not put in a date, then pop the message down, you'll see an example of iMS adding a date header.
What software is running on "romulus.imaginemedia.com"?

Can I disable my vacation message facility in emai...

My vacation message option was taken over by a spammer. I deleted their message and unticked the option to leave a message. As the spammer was able to turn this on in the first place, I would like to disable the vacation message option altogether. My son's machine using SKY ISP has the option to disable this completely. Please advise if I can disable it and how I do so, so no spammer can use it again.
Solved!

Hi.
AFAIK, the only way a spammer (or indeed anyone) can set the vacation message is knowing the email address and password combination. If you haven't done so, you need to change the password - as well as maybe altering some of the other details like DoB and other security answer to something else.
Clearly you will need to remember these items if you've altered them.

How do you set an away message in mac mail?

I am trying to set an away message that will automatically send a response to any incoming emails. I am using OSX Version 10.8.5. All of the discussions seem to be old and none of them are relevant - there is no gear to click on when I go to mail on icloud. Can someone please help?
Thanks!

You could set a rule in Mail to do this but that's not usually a very effective way to send an out-of-office message since it would require that your computer be on and logged in with Mail running, far too vulnerable for most people. It's better to set up an out-of-office message in your email account on your provider's server. Most email providers offer such a feature. If you're using iCloud mail, click the "gear" icon at the very lower-left corner of your screen when you're in the Mail section, click the "vacation" item in the toolbar, and add your message as appropriate.
Regards.

Resend a Mail message on Ipad

I would like to change or edit a message already sent on my IPad in Mail, and then send it again to the same addressees. I can't find any mention in the Apple site or the Macworld forums on how to do this. Surely you can resend messages in IOS Mail. TIA

You can't add rules to the Mail app on an iPad - if you log into your account on your provider's website are you able to set rules there, so that it can be done before the email get to the iPad

*Under "Change Account Settings", click "Other Goole Account Settings"
*Along the left, click "Security"

*It will ask for your usual gmail account password and take you to a page that says "
Authorized Access to your Google Account
*You will see a box to type in something (I just typed in iPad) then click "Generate Password"
*It will generate a random password for you... you will need this password Once in your iPad....
Now...
*Go to your iPhone Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add Account>Google

How to set Mail NOT to download new messages?

How can I set Mail NOT to automatically download incoming email messages when it opens?
I have several email accounts turned on within Mail. My default email is NOT iCloud, and I use another app to manage that account. However, within other apps, for example, to report a crash, the iPad defaults to Mail to send the report. That is OK. However, in the process it starts downloading all my incoming messages. I want it NOT to do that.
i want it to download new messages only when I ask it to do so.
Thanks.

The iPhone data plans are unlimited, so you shouldnt be concerned about cost. That being said, it is ANNOYING to have all accounts (I have six) check email just because I launch the mail app. And if I follow a URL in an email to Safari, then come back to Mail, it checks AGAIN.
Nope, there is not way to stop if from doing that short of turning the account OFF under Mail Settings, which is even MORE inconvenient. I went to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and left them a message. Perhaps you should do the same.

I am trying to email pictures from my ipad to my email address on my computer and I have been going along nice but now I get a message that says "cannot send mail the message was rejected by the server" can't see to figure out why it stopped sending now.
