I’m going on vacation and I won’t be able to check my email. How do I leave an automatic answer on my email that I’m on vacation?

On your yahoo mail, go to your Mail Options. Under mail options, click on Holiday Response. Enter the duration (from ___date to another ___date); Under Generic Response, put in your desired automatic message. This response will be sent to all incoming mail that you receive during your holiday. You may enter up to 10 lines of text. There is also a Special Response field which is optional. This is an optional response that can be sent when you receive messages from specific domains. You may enter up to 10 lines of text as well. Click on Turn Auto Response On, it’s below all those fields. You’re good to go.

Yahoo! E-Mail
(regular email, not Beta)
VACATION RESPONSE
CAUTION: ‘Generic Response’ will alert spammers your email address is active. ‘Special Response’ will only respond to the specific domains you select. (recomended)
Generic Response:
* Go to your email box.
* Click ‘Options’ (upper right, horizontal list of options, blue letters).
* Click ‘Vacation Response’ (second column, under ‘Management’, blue letters).
* Enter ‘Start Date:’ and ‘End Date:’.
* Enter ‘Generic Response’ in large input field.
* Check the box ‘[/] Send a sample copy of this message to my Inbox’.
Special Response:
You can also setup a ‘Special Response (optional)’ for specific domains (e.g., yahoo.com, hotmail.com, etc.). This is an optional response that can be sent when you receive messages from specific domains. You may enter up to 10 lines of text.
* Click on the ‘Turn Auto-Response On’ button (bottom and top left of page).
———–
The ‘Generic Response’ option will alert spammers your email address is active. Not the ‘Special Response (optional)’ option (it’s below the generic input field). You will only have to enter the domains of your contacts not their individual addresses (e.g., yahoo.com, hotmail.com, etc.).
You can redirect incoming unsolicited emails to your ‘Bulk’ mail folder.
Turn your ‘Spam Guard’ on and all junk mail going to the ‘Bulk’ folder will be deleted automatically *without bouncing back to the sender*. ‘Bulk’ and ‘Trash’ folders contents do not count towards your allotted email storage space.
