Manage Auto Responders

Tip: Auto Responders can also be accessed by right-clicking on a specified mailbox and selecting Manage Auto-Responder from the menu. This option will only update the auto response for the selected mailbox.

Use an automatic response so that each time you receive message, a prepared message is sent back to the sender. This feature is activated when the Enable check box is checked for a specified mailbox. Once activated text can be entered in the Message box.

The navigation folder will display an icon to the right of all mail folders that have auto-responders setup.

Note: To prevent automatic responses to bulk mailers, an automatic response is not sent if the original message contains the "Precedence:bulk header".

To prevent automatic responses to list server mailing lists, automatic responses are not sent if the original message contains "imailsrv" in the mail address.
