Tips and Variations

• You can customize the auto-reply message by using placeholders (e.g., %name%, %email%, etc.) and formatting options (e.g., bold, italic, etc.).
• You can also set up multiple auto-reply rules for different situations (e.g., one for when you're away, one for when you're on vacation, etc.).
• If you want to send auto-replies only to specific senders or groups, you can use the "Recipient" field in the auto-reply rule.
• You can also use the "AutoReply" add-on to set up auto-replies for specific folders or labels.
