Mac mail auto response
The convenience of auto-responders!
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
- Open the Mail app on your Mac.
- Click on "Mail" in the top menu bar and select "Preferences" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Comma).
- Click on the "Accounts" tab.
- Select your email account from the list on the left.
- Click on the "Auto-Response" tab.
- Check the box next to "Enable auto-response".
- Enter the subject and message you want to send as an auto-response.
- Choose the frequency of the auto-response (e.g., every 1, 2, or 3 days).
- 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.

- Download and install the plugin from the Mac App Store or other source.
- Launch the plugin and follow the setup instructions.
- Configure the plugin to send auto-responses based on your preferences (e.g., subject, message, frequency).
- Save your changes and the plugin will start sending auto-responses according to your settings.
