In macOS Mail, you can set up an auto-response to send a pre-written message to anyone who emails you when you're away or unavailable. Here's how:

Method 1: Using the Mail app's built-in feature

3. Click on the "Accounts" tab.
4. Select your email account from the list on the left.
5. Click on the "Auto-Response" tab.
6. Check the box next to "Enable auto-response".

8. Choose the frequency of the auto-response (e.g., every 1, 2, or 3 days).
9. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Method 2: Using a third-party plugin

If you want more advanced features or customization options, you can use a third-party plugin like "AutoResponder" or "Reply Assistant". These plugins can be downloaded from the Mac App Store or other reputable sources.

2. Launch the plugin and follow the setup instructions.
3. Configure the plugin to send auto-responses based on your preferences (e.g., subject, message, frequency).
4. Save your changes and the plugin will start sending auto-responses according to your settings.
