Managing Auto Reply from the Email Control Center
Going on vacation or out of the office for a few days? Keep your customers, contacts and colleagues informed by setting up an automatic reply to everyone who emails you.
The Workspace Webmail Auto Responder feature is an efficient way to let people know you're unavailable and specify when you'll be able to respond to their email. In addition, the auto-reply function lets you send only one response to each address during the specified time period.
You can only use this procedure if you are the account administrator. If you are the email address user see Using Auto Reply in Web-Based Email
