Setting A Vacation Auto-Reply On Your Email

Have you ever sent an email to someone and received an immediate reply back with a message such as "I'm out of the office until next Monday and will respond to your message when I return" or "I'm on vacation until December 1st, if you need an immediate response please contact Bob at 970-555-5555"? These automatic response messages are called Auto Replies or Vacation messages and they can actually provide you with peace of mind when you are away from your email by knowing that urgent matters aren't falling on deaf ears (or an unattended mailbox).

Personalized auto replies or vacation messages are available to all Brainstorm Internet customers and are very easy to set up. Here's how to do it:

Go to our webmail page at https://webmail.brainstorminternet.net and log in with your full email address and password.

In the left menu panel click on the plus sign (+) just to the left of the Mail link to expand the list down. Now click on Vacation.

In the window that opens you'll see Subject and Message boxes, just type in what you want to use for your auto reply email subject line and message body. After you enter that information click Set/Install Vacation Notice and click Submit.

When you want to turn off the auto reply message just log into webmail again, go to the Vacation settings and click Unset/Remove Vacation Notice, then click Submit.

Q: If I set a Vacation message, will I still receive emails?
A: Yes. Your messages will accumulate in your mailbox and wait for you, but everyone who sends you an email will automatically receive your vacation reply.

If you host your own domain name at Brainstorm and you are unable to log into your own domain email as directed above it is probably because your domain is hosted on our new hosting platform and is accessed differently. If this is the case please contact webmaster@brainstorminternet.net for assistance.
