For example: To have Mail reply only to emails you received at a specific address, set the criterion to&nbsp;To contains me@example.com. To auto-respond only to senders in your Contacts, to people you have emailed before or VIPs, make the criterion read&nbsp;Sender is in my contacts,&nbsp;Sender is in my previous recipients&nbsp;or&nbsp;Sender is VIP&nbsp;respectively. To have the auto-reply sent to all incoming emails, make the criterion Every Message.

For a vacation or out-of-office auto-reply, tell the recipient when you expect to return. If you don&#39;t plan to go through your old mail when you return, let recipients know when to re-send their messages if they&#39;re still relevant. Click OK.

If prompted Do you want to apply your rules to messages in selected mailboxes?, click Don&#39;t Apply.​ If you click Apply, Mail will send the auto-reply to existing messages, generating possibly thousands of messages and multiple identical responses to the same recipient. Close the Rules dialog. Replies generated using this auto-responder method will include not only the original message text but also original file attachments.
