How do I stop the auto reply sending to all emails in my inbox?
I was playing around as per the instructions and not realising that it would email to every email in my inbox, not just future ones received.
Please help!
Earlier Mac models

Sorry, I had missed this post.
If this is what you did, then go to Mail->Preferences->Rules, and see what you have there.
Probably all you need to do is to select the Rule that is causing this and click Remove:

What account is this?
AFAICT, there is no auto reply in the Apple Mail application itself, it is to be set in your provider webmail interface.
For icloud accounts, you login to icloud on your browser, select Mail and make the changes there.
You have to login using the webmail client and change the setting for automatic replies there.
Your mail provider for sure has a webmail address, where you can access your mail using a web browser, like Safari. In that page you access your mail with an interface similar to the one shown below. Of course, we do not know who your provider is, so if you don't know the address you'll have to ask them.
It may be something like https://webmail.something.com or https://mail.something.com where something.com would depend on the provider.
What mail client are you using? What version of macOS?
What "instructions" are you referring to?
It's a Microsoft Exchange account. I think that's what you mean.
That and what mail client are you using? The native mail app? Outlook? Something else?

The native mail app.

Sorry, that's over my head. How would I go about doing that?
I did remove, however it had still sent out to all emails in the inbox. It looks like it has stopped itself. Thanks for your help.
Out of Office setup - how to stop it?!
