Method 1: Using Apple Mail's built-in feature

4. Check the box next to Automatically reply to messages.
5. Enter your auto-response message in the text field provided.
6. Choose the response format: Plain Text, Rich Text, or HTML.
7. Set the response delay: Immediately, After 1 hour, After 2 hours, or After 3 hours.

Method 2: Using a third-party plugin

1. Install a third-party plugin like AutoResponder or ReplyLater from the Mac App Store.
2. Launch the plugin and follow the setup instructions.
3. Configure the plugin to send auto-response messages based on your preferences.

Tips:

• Make sure to test your auto-response message by sending an email to yourself to ensure it works correctly.
• You can also set up multiple auto-response messages for different situations or contacts.
• If you're using a third-party plugin, be aware that it may not work with all email accounts or providers.
• Some email providers, like Gmail, have built-in auto-response features that may conflict with Apple Mail's auto-response feature. In this case, you may need to use the provider's built-in feature instead.
