When going on a vacation, it is curtoeus to respond and let them know that you are unable to attend to their email because you are away.

When an email is sent to your inbox, Gmail will automatically send back an email to the sender to tell them that you are unable to reply to their email. In the the message content you can put whatever message you like. You could even let them know when you are coming back from holiday and when you could attend to their message.

Here's how:

1. Log into your Gmail account with the username and password.

2. Then click on the Tool icon, it's at top right hand corner of the screen, and click on Mail settings.

3. Under the General tab (default tab), go down to the section Vacation responder.

4. Click on the Vacation responder on radio button.

5. If you would like to set a period for the auto reply then tick on the Ends checkbox and set a date. After the Ends date, the Gmail out of office reponse will be switched off.

6. Next fill in the Subject and Message details. At this point you could also choose to Only send a response to people in my Contacts.

7. Once you are happy with the message, click on the Save Changes button.
