In this article, we’ll explain how you can enable an out-of-office automatic reply in Webmail. With this function activated, the email sender will automatically receive a reply with predefined content.
- Log in to Webmail
- In the main navigation bar on the left-hand side, click the Webmail Home link.
- Under Manage Your Inbox, click Autoresponders.
- Under Add Autoresponder, click the Add Autoresponder button. If you already have an autoresponder present, the button will state Edit Autoresponder.
- Enter the desired information in the following fields:
- Interval: The number of hours to wait between responses to the same email address, or zero to always respond.
- From: This can be your name or business name, this will help the recipient to recognise who the email is from.
- Subject: State the reason for the autoresponse, such as “Out of Office”.
- Body: Add your response to the email here. If you would like to include HTML code within your response, you must tick the “This message contains HTML” option.
- Start: Set a date and time for the autoresponse to begin.
- Stop: Set a date and time for the autoresponse to end.
- Click on Create.
That’s it. Now, when the autoresponse it active, the sender of the email will be notified that you are out of the office (hopefully enjoying a well-earned break).
