    • Auto-reply message text: enter here the message the sender should automatically receive back.
    • Forward to (optional): enter the email address to which the incoming e-mail should be forwarded during your absence. This can be a colleague or another department.
    • Switch off auto-reply on: this is the date when the automatic reply is deactivated and you can be reached again via email.
  5. Click OK to set up the automatic reply and you're done. Want to remove the automatic reply again? Then return to this page and uncheck Activate automatic reply.
