Webmail - Setting up an autoresponder

If you use our webmail service you can set an autoresponder for your e-mail accounts.

An autoresponder is a message that is sent, automatically, to someone when they e-mail you. The most common use of these is 'out of office' messages, which people often set when they go on holiday.

To set-up your own autoresponder, just follow these steps:

1. Log into your e-mail account by visiting webmail.your-web-site-address.co.uk
   
   
2. The screen below will be displayed. If it isn't or if it is shown only for a second, click the back button on your internet browser
   
   
   
   
   
3. Click on the 'Auto Responders' icon at the bottom of the screen
   
   
4. A new page will be displayed. Click on the 'Add Auto Responder' button at the top of the page
   
   
5. Enter '1' in the 'Interval' box. Then enter an e-mail subject in the 'Subject' box and finally enter your autoresponder messsage in the 'Body' text box
   
   
6. If you want to, you can also specify when you would like the autoresponder message to start and stop. For example, if you are going away for a week, you can set the message to only send during the time that you are away and it will stop automatically when you return
   
   
7. Finally, click on the 'Create/Modify' button at the bottom of the page. Your autoresponder message is now active.
