# Holiday mode (automatic reply)

**Vacation mode** automatically sends a short reply to emails that arrive in the mailbox while you are away. If you set a start and end date, the reply is sent only during that period; it stops automatically at the end.

- Every user with send permission in the mailbox

## What is holiday mode (automatic reply)?

Holiday mode automatically sends a short reply to emails that arrive in the mailbox while you are away. Who can do this: any user with send permission on the mailbox. Your reply is sent to new emails arriving in the mailbox. If you provide a start and end date, the reply is sent only within that range; it stops automatically at the end. No replies are sent to newsletters, email lists, "noreply" addresses or other automatic replies; this prevents two automatic replies from looping.

## Steps

From the **My account** menu in the top right, open **Vacation mode (auto-reply)** and select the mailbox.

Select **Auto-reply on** 1; optionally, select the **Start** and **End** dates 2.

Enter the reply subject and text, then click **Save**.

- 1Open / close

- 2Date range

- 3Internal

Holiday mode window, with demo data.

**Result**Your reply is sent to new emails received in the mailbox. A reply is sent to the same person at most once every four days; it is not sent again on every email to someone you correspond with regularly.

**Tip** No replies are sent to newsletters, email lists, "noreply" addresses or other automatic replies, so two automatic replies do not loop. If you also want to reply to internal emails, select **Also reply to internal emails** 3.

**Spoofed senders**Emails whose sender address cannot be verified (and may be impersonated) do not receive replies. The reply subject is the subject you write; the incoming email's subject is not added. A mailbox sends at most 100 automatic replies per day.
