WSU AccessID E-mail—Setting a Vacation Message (Automatic Reply)
Going away and won't be able to check your WSU AccessID e-mail?
Do you want people
who send e-mail to you to know that you are away and unable to respond? The
solution is to set your AccessID e-mail to send an automatic reply
(often called a vacation message).
When you set an automatic reply, the mail server sends that message in response
to e-mail sent to your AccessID as follows:
- Individual IDs—SENDS the message.
- Distribution Lists—DOES NOT SEND the message.
- Time Interval—SENDS to each individual ONLY ONCE
during each week the message is active.
Setting the automatic reply
- Login to WSU Pipeline,
and click the E-mail button
OR login to webmail.wayne.edu.
- Click Options on the left sidebar.
- Click Automatic Reply in the menu bar at the top of the
window.
- Fill in the Subject: and Message: areas.
- End your message with your full name to ensure that the receiver
knows who the message is from.
- Click the Start button.
Turning off the automatic reply
- Login to WSU Pipeline,
and click the E-mail button
OR login to webmail.wayne.edu.
- Click Options on the left sidebar.
- Click Automatic Reply in the menu bar at the top of the
window.
- Click the Stop button.
