Vacation autoresponder for your email account.

An Email Autoresponder can be used to send a message to all senders who contact you during a specific period of time. This service is helpful when you are traveling and are unable to check your e-mail regularly.

If your hosting account is a Personal Unix, Business Class Unix, Pro, or eCommerce Unix UNIX-based shared hosting plan, or a Personal Windows, Business Class Windows, Pro Windows, or eCommerce Windows Windows-based shared hosting plan, here’s how to set-up an email autoresponder:

1. Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.

Important: When an individual logs into the control panel using a specific email account and its respective password, he/she will have control over that particular email box only. This is really useful if you wish your email users to create their auto responders themselves.

2. Select Emails from the top navigation bar.
3. Next, select Email Boxes and click on Manage Email Boxes.
4. Click on the e-mail account that you’d like to manage.
5. Click the Email Autoresponder icon.
6. Now, at Step 1 specify the period type when your autoresponder will be active. You have the following options:
1. Infinitely – the autoresponder remains active until you disable it.
2. Weekly – the autoresponder will be active during the specified days of the week. Please have in mind that the autoresponder will be active on every specified weekday until you disable it.
3. Monthly – the autoresponder will be active during the specified days of the month. Again, the autoresponder will be active on every specified day of the month until you disable it.
4. Exact Period - the autoresponder will be active from the specified starting date until the end date.
7. At Step 2 you have to define the autoresponder message. You have two options:
1. Use the Plain Text Editor, if you do not need HTML content in your message.
2. Use the Advanced HTML Editor, if you’d like to include HTML content in your message.

Important: When the autoresponder is enabled, its message cannot be edited. You have to disable the autoresponder in order to edit the autoresponse message.

8. Finally, click the Enable button.
