Turning on Your Vacation Message

A vacation message is a mail utility that automatically sends a standard reply message to incoming email messages. This feature is most often used to notify the sender that you are currently unavailable.

To turn on your vacation message:

  1. In the Shortcuts section of the Home page , click Vacation (Email section).
  2. In the Vacation Message form, click Update. The Editing Vacation Message form opens.
  3. In the Enable Vacation Message field, select the check box.
  4. Click Update.

    The vacation message is enabled immediately. Incoming messages receive the automatic reply.

Note: Your administrator may occasionally make vacation messaging temporarily unavailable. When it is available again, you must manually turn on this feature again to activate it. Your administrator will notify you if this feature is temporarily unavailable.
