How do you set out of office in apple mail

To set up an out-of-office (OOF) message in Apple Mail, follow these steps:

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 the email account you want to set up the OOF message for from the list of accounts on the left.
5. Click on the "Out of Office" tab.
6. Check the box next to "Automatically reply to messages" to enable the OOF feature.
7. Enter your OOF message in the text box provided. You can include the dates you'll be out of the office, a contact email or phone number, and any other relevant information.
8. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Alternatively, you can also set up an OOF message from within a message composition window:

1. Compose a new message in Apple Mail.
2. Click on the "Message" menu and select "Out of Office" from the drop-down menu.
3. Enter your OOF message in the text box provided.
4. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Note: The OOF message will be sent to anyone who sends you an email during the specified time period. You can also set up an OOF message to be sent only once, or to be sent repeatedly during the specified time period.

Here's an example of what an OOF message might look like:

"Hello,

I am currently out of the office and will not be checking emails until [date]. If you have an urgent matter, please contact [name] at [phone number] or [email address].

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards, [Your Name]"

Remember to customize the message to fit your needs and preferences!
