Manage Away Message

You can automatically send an Away Message message to anyone who sends you mail. This feature is activated when Enable is checked and saved on the Away Message dialog. Enter a message in the Away Message text box and then Save.

Your Away Message will only be sent once to each email address that sends you mail, while the Away Message is enabled. Email addresses that have received your Away Message are tracked, to prevent an email address from receiving your Away Message more than once. Disabling the Away Message resets the email addresses tracking file.

Note: This feature is similar to the Auto Responder feature which sends an automatic response to each message that is received, regardless of whether or not the sender has already received the automatic response.
