How to set up an out of office reply in iCloud Mail

The Mail app for macOS doesn't offer automatic or out-of-office replies for email accounts. However, if you use an iCloud email address, you can set up an automatic reply through the ‌iCloud‌ website. That way, email senders will know when you're gone and when you'll be back. Here's how to set up an out-of-office reply in iCloud Mail.
