Going on vacation? No access to the Internet? No problem! Use Google mail's vacation responder to let people know you won't be able to get back to them right away.
You can set up a vacation response in your Google mail settings that will automatically reply to anyone who emails you. While the vacation responder is enabled, Google mail will send a response to anyone who contacts you.*
If that person contacts you again after four days and your vacation responder is still enabled, Google mail will send another vacation response to remind the person that you're away from your email.
Here's how to set up a vacation response:
Click the gear in the top right.
Select Settings.
From the General tab, select Vacation responder on in the Vacation responder: section.
Enter the subject and body of your message in the Subject: and Message: fields.
Check the box next to Only send a response to people in my Contacts if you don't want everyone who emails you to know that you're away from your mail. If you use Google Apps, you'll also see an option to only send a response to people your domain. If you check both of these boxes, only people who are in your contacts and your domain will receive the automatic response.
Click Save Changes.
While the vacation responder is enabled, you'll see a banner across the top of any Google mail page, displaying the subject of your vacation response. To stop Google mail from automatically sending the response, click End now within the banner. Or, if you'd like to edit the response, click Vacation Settings.
Your vacation response will start over each time you edit it -- if someone receives your initial vacation response, and then emails you again after you've edited the subject or body of the message, he or she will receive the edited response, too.
