3. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
4. Scroll down to the "More Settings" section.
5. Click on "Away Message" from the dropdown menu.
6. Enter your away message in the text box provided. You can use plain text or HTML code to format your message.

Tips:

• You can set a different away message for each of your Yahoo Mail accounts.
• Your away message will be displayed to anyone who sends you an email while you're away.
• You can also set an auto-response message, which will send a pre-written response to anyone who emails you while you're away.
• If you want to turn off your away message, simply go back to the Away Message settings and click "Save" without entering a message.

What's the point of an away message?

Away messages were originally designed to let people know when you were unavailable or on vacation. They could be used to:

• Inform others that you're not checking emails or responding to messages.
• Provide a brief explanation for your absence (e.g., "I'm on vacation until [date]").
• Offer an alternative contact method (e.g., "If urgent, please contact [phone number]").

While away messages are no longer as popular as they once were, they can still be a useful feature for managing your email communications.
