• Consider setting up an autoresponder for a specific period, such as a week or two, to ensure that you don't miss any important emails when you return.
• If you're using a shared email account or a team email account, make sure to set up the out-of-office autoresponder for all team members.
• Don't forget to turn off the out-of-office autoresponder when you return from your vacation to ensure that you receive emails as usual.
