Send Auto Reply Thru Gmail While You Are On Vacation

Whenever you go for a vacation and not available for checking emails then you should use Auto Response to send replies to those incoming messages and mail within that period. Microsoft Outlook is already having this feature but if you are a Gmail user and want to send the auto reply to incoming message then you can do that by using “Vacation Time” tool.

Vacation Time is a small tool in Gmail Labs thru which you can send auto response to each and every incoming messages within that period. To enable the tool in your Gmail, Go to the Settings and then Labs tab. Enable the “Vacation Time” tool from there and save the changes.
