Auto-Reply (Vacation Message) for UCCS Email

Last Update: 08/10/09

These instructions explain how to create an auto-reply for your UCCS email, commonly used when you go on vacation. For complete Webmail instructions, see http://www.uccs.edu/helpdesk/webmail.htm.

1. To access Webmail, open a browser and go to https://webmail.uccs.edu. Log in using your IT username and password. There's information on the Webmail homepage that explains the login information. For the purpose of this tutorial, leave the Layout box blank.

Note: When using Webmail, you do not normally use the browser toolbars. Navigate using Webmail buttons.

2. To automatically send a reply to each incoming message; e.g., when you're going on vacation, click on Mail Control. Click the Clear 'Replied Addresses' List button first. Then type your message in the box by Vacation Message and put a checkmark in the Enable box. Now click the checkmark to save.

3. When you no longer wish to send the automatic reply, remove the Enable checkmark and click the checkmark in the top left corner. Alternately you can enter an end date and check the Ends box when you create the message. You may leave the message to edit for your next vacation.

4. When you're done with Webmail, you should click Log Out or close the browser.
