TS3276 Setting Rules in Mail, and misunderstanding the terms.

Just tried, for the first time, setting a Rule in mail to deal with holiday messages. Thought sending it to 'Every message' would be appropriate, as couldn't make sense of any other options. Now EVERYONE, who ever sent me a message has received the absence message, some people hugely multiple times. They would be correct to be very irritated.
Anyone else every done this?

Hi Redkite7,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The following article will provide some information about sending automatic replies.
Mail (Mountain Lion): Send automatic replies
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11760
I gathered this information from the Help menu in the Mail application for you:
Send automatic replies
You can create a rule to have Mail automatically reply to incoming messages.
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.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

  • TS3276 Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer.

    Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer. I have Googled enough to find out that the answer is no, but no official answer or recent answer and I am hopeful that there has been a change.

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • Can same mail accounts be set up on Mail and Outlook?

    After migrating PC files over to new iMac I have just about worked out where my documents are now my problem is that my two email accounts have set up in Mail and I want them in Outlook but Outlook won't recognise my passwords!  Anyone out there know why this is and how I set up my email accounts on Outlook - I need all of my folders and history from the PC to transfer to Outlook too - unfortunately folders are lost in Mail.  Is the problem that the accounts are already set up on Mail and can't be set up on Outlook too?  Obviously I am grasphing at straws here...please help thanks .

    No one got any ideas ? Have i explained my problem well ?
    I guess another way of phrasing the question would be if I were to re-format my hide drive and re-install everything, what files would I need to save in order for my itunes to work in exactly the same way and have the same settings as before the re-format.

  • After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours. Help!

    After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours.
    I tried quitting and starting again but it just jumps back to the same spot.

    It is quite large, but I have tried two of the fixes suggested and things now seem to be moving along.
    (I was unable to seach properly before which is why I posted the question - it was a bit of a panic)

  • I was setting up my Airport and thought the first set up did not go through, so I set up again and I ended up with two accounts instead of one.  How can I manage to have only one account now? Thanks for the help.

    I was setting up my Airport and thought the first set up dod not go through, then I set up again and ended up with two wireless accounts.  I use it for the prointer and the iPad, and I can see both accounts in the iPad.  How do I get rid of one account?  Thanks for the help!

    me.com accounts can be used for iCloud.  See the FAQ section in:
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895>
    but it may be too late if you have already created a new AppleID.
    A few years ago Apple said they were working on allowing account merging, but it never happened (maybe objections from copyright holders).

  • Set location of components and reduce the size

    I want to resize JavaFX component and shrink the components which are next to it. Here is the result which I get:
    When I click on the angle of this component I can resize it down and right.
    http://i.stack.imgur.com/jqoNW.png
    The components which are next to it are pushed down and right. Part of them are behind the visible part of the screen.
    http://i.stack.imgur.com/rsi0L.png
    All components are placed in BorderPane,VBox,HBoxand againBorderPane. I don't want to allow components to move. I want to shrink them and use Scrollpane` when their size is reduced. Can you give me some hits how to solve these two problems?
    Ref javafx 2 - Set location of components and reduce the size - Stack Overflow

    I did something similar the other day. Based on the resizing of the scene I adjusted the position.
    widthProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {
        @Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> observableValue, Number oldSceneWidth, Number newSceneWidth) {
            widthChange((Double)oldSceneWidth, (Double)newSceneWidth);
    heightProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {
        @Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> observableValue, Number oldSceneHeight, Number newSceneHeight) {
            heightChange((Double)oldSceneHeight, (Double)newSceneHeight);
    You should be able to do something similar, when you add a change listener to your component and handle the resizing of the other components.
    What I don't understand is why you would need a scrollbar, when the components shrink down. I would think it would be the other way round.

    When I go into my mail and select the sent item tab it boots be out. Without letting me view my sent email

    Another easy thing to try is to quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Did you send an email with a large attachment by any chance?

  • What is the difference between iPhone 5 trade in through the mail and in the store? If you trade it in the store, do you get the 200$ gift card right away?

    What is the difference between iPhone 5 trade in through the mail and in the store? If you trade it in the store, do you get the 200$ gift card right away?

        danamd89,
    Great question. We can understand wanting to get your money right away. If you go into the store and you trade in your iPhone and purchase a new iPhone that is in stock you will receive the gift card immediately. If you do it online before 9/30 you will have to ship the device after you receive your new iPhone and then you will get a gift card in 4-6 weeks.

  • I have an 8GB ipod touch and suddenly I'm able to access only the "sent" mailbox of Mail and not the other mailboxes.  I turned on and off.  I connected it to MacBook but still I can't access the other mailboxes.

    - Try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you access the mail on another device?

  • I am trying to download skype, but it asks to agree to the terms of service. So I go to my email and check the terms fo service, but I don't know where the "agree" button is. Can someone please help me?

    I am trying to download Skype to my ipod (my friend gave me his old ipod touch, which is about 1-2 years old, according to the year 2014) And when I tried to install it, it said that I have to agree to the terms of use. So I go onto my computer and review the terms of use there on my email. I could NOT find the "agree" button. Please, can someone help me?

    The button would be on your iPod version of Skype, not the computer version. They are not the same.

  • I have agreed and accepted the terms and conditions multiple times

    I have agreed and accepted the terms and conditions multiple times and I am still being asked to accept. All I want to do is watch the new episode of Glee and I am highly considering doing so illegally or getting a ******* hulu-plus account because iTunes for some reason does not want me to purchase anything. I have been playing along in this treacherous cycle for a ******* half-hour. How do I make this stop?

    Hello ms450,
    I would report an issue with the purchase directly to the iTunes Store support with this article:

    Hi,
    Please try out the following workarounds and see if it helps:
    1. Renaming SLCache and SLStore folders
    Please go to following location:
    WIN:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    MAC: System Library/Application Support/Adobe
    and rename the SLCache folder present there.
    Similarly, rename SLStore folder present at following location
    WIN: C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    MAC: System Library/Application Support/Adobe
            After renaming these folders, try to login into the sign-in screen again.
    In case it does not help, try out this:
    2. Switch the User account to Hidden Administrator. Try signing in from there.
    Enable the (Hidden) Administrator Account on your WIN machine. To enable the same, please refer to link.
    Sign Out of current user account and then log in with the new account created.
    Try launching Photoshop Elements Editor and login into the sign in screen that pops up.
    If editor launches up fine, you can disable the Hidden Administrator account created in first step. Steps to disable the account have been mentioned in the same link.
