Apple mail auto reply message

To set up an auto-reply message in Apple Mail, follow these steps:

For macOS High Sierra (10.13) and later:

  1. Open Apple Mail and select "Mail" from the top menu bar.
  2. Click on "Preferences" from the drop-down menu.
  3. In the Preferences window, click on the "General" tab.
  4. Scroll down to the "Automatically reply to messages" section.
  5. Select the "Automatically reply to messages" checkbox.
  6. Enter your auto-reply message in the text field provided.
  7. Choose the duration for which you want the auto-reply to be active (e.g., "Until I return" or "Until [date]").
  8. Click "OK" to save your changes.

For macOS Sierra (10.12) and earlier:

  1. Open Apple Mail and select "Mail" from the top menu bar.
  2. Click on "Preferences" from the drop-down menu.
  3. In the Preferences window, click on the "Accounts" tab.
  4. Select your email account from the list of accounts.
  5. Click on the "Advanced" tab.

  10. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Note: Auto-reply messages will only be sent to messages that are received while the feature is enabled. If you want to send an auto-reply to all incoming messages, you can set up a rule in Apple Mail to forward all incoming messages to your auto-reply address.

Also, keep in mind that auto-reply messages may not work as expected if you have multiple email accounts set up in Apple Mail, or if you're using a third-party email client or service.
