Tips:

• Make sure to test your auto-reply by sending an email to yourself or a friend to ensure it's working correctly.
• If you want to set up an auto-reply for a specific period of time (e.g., while you're on vacation), you can use the "Until [date]" option in Method 1 or set a specific date range in Method 2.
• Keep in mind that auto-responders may not work with all email clients or services, so it's a good idea to test them before relying on them for important communications.
