How Can I Set up Auto-Reply Messages?

 

Apart from auto-forwarding emails, you can also set up auto-reply messages for your clients and colleagues. This auto-reply comes in handy when you are going to be away from your system (mail). When you go on a business trip or a vacation with the family, you can think of creating an auto-reply message for a particular period. When someone sends you a message, he or she will immediately receive a response to their emails. This also helps people not to be worried about you in your absence. Check out the following steps:

·        Click the ‘Gear’ icon (located on the top right of the navigation bar in Xfinity Connect).

·        You can then click ‘Settings’

·        Go to ‘Mail’ > ‘Auto Reply’

·        Enter the message you want and click ‘Save’
