You can set up an away/vacation message for your Saint Mary's e-mail account with the ZMail Zimbra webmail client (https://webmail.saintmarys.edu). You will need to set up this away/vacation message with the ZMail Zimbra webmail client even if you use another application to check your e-mail (Eudora, Apple's Mail, Netscape/Mozilla/Thunderbird, Outlook).

1. Visit https://webmail.saintmarys.edu and log in.
2. Under "Zimbra" there are several tabs. Click on the Options tab to edit your e-mail options.
3. At the top of the Options page, click on the Mail tab.
4. To turn on the vacation message reply, click the box labeled "Away message Enabled" so the box is checked.
(To turn off the vacation reply message, click the box labeled "Away message Enabled" so the box is unchecked.)
5. In the Away message: box, type the vacation message you would like people to receive. This message will be sent to anyone who sends you a e-mail message while the away message is enabled on your account. Your away message is sent to each recipient only once, regardless of how many messages that person sends you during the time your away message is enabled.
You should include basic information stating that you are not checking your e-mail or infrequently checking your e-mail, and include the date that you will be returning and checking your e-mail on a regular basis. You may choose to provide current contact information or identify a person to contact while you are away, as well.
6. As a reminder, the vacation messages are sent only when the box to enable the away message is checked. If you return earlier than expected, you can log into the ZMail Zimbra webmail client and uncheck the box to disable automatic vacation reply.
7. Click on the Save button at the top of the page. The away message feature is enabled immediately.
