The most natural option is 'but'. As in:
He was out, but I left a message for him.
This conveys that you were unable to see the person directly, but you were able to commmunicate in another way by leaving a message.
The other options are not strictly incorrect, but they aren't as natural and they don't emphasise the important ideas in the sentence.
