This form will enable or disable the "Away from Email" robot on your account. Once enabled, individuals addressing email to you in your absence will receive an auto-response email containing the "away from email" message of your choice. Typical use of the Away Message robot is to inform others that you will be away for a period of time and will not be able to give immediate attention to their email.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Enter the DATE (using the format indicated) and TIME (from the pull-down menu) when the away message should BEGIN.
2. Enter the DATE (using the format indicated) and TIME (from the pull-down menu) when the away message should END.
3. Enter the SUBJECT that will appear in the Subject field of your email message. Entries in this field typically state "Away from email" or "Away from email until [return date]". You may change the default if desired.
4. Enter the AWAY MESSAGE that will appear in the message body of the auto-response email to individuals sending you an email in your absence. Please do not use the & character - it will give you an error. Typical entries would state the duration you will be away and any pertinent information (e.g. an alternate contact person, whether you will be monitoring your email remotely, etc).
