Out of office, but still on point! The holidays are coming, and you’re probably looking forward to some time off. But before you can relax and enjoy yourself, you need to make sure your email is taken care of. After all, who wants to return from a relaxing vacation in the mountains to a mountain of unread emails? That’s where Gmail’s automatic reply feature comes in. With just a few clicks, you can set up an out-of-office message that will let people know you’re away and when they can expect you to get back to them.

Step 1: Open Gmail settings

On your computer, open Gmail and click on the gear icon in the top right corner. Then, select “See all settings.”

 

Step 2: Turn on the vacation responder

Scroll down to the “Vacation responder” section and select “Vacation responder on.”
