Gmail:Help Center- How do I set up an automatic vacation response? Help Center Help Center Home > Reading & Receiving Mail How do I set up an automatic vacation response? Going on vacation? No access to the Internet? No problem! Use Gmail's vacationresponder to let people know you won't be able to get back to them right away. You can set up a vacation response in your Gmail account that will automaticallyreply to anyone who emails you. While the vacation responder is enabled, Gmail will send a response to anyone who contacts you.* If that person contacts you again after four days and your vacation responder is still enabled, Gmail will send another vacation response to remind the person that you're away from your email. Here's how to let people know you can't respond right away: Log in to your Gmail account. Click 'Settings' along the top of any Gmail page. From the 'General' tab, select 'Vacation responder on' in the 'Vacation responder:' section. Enter the subject and body of your message in the 'Subject:' and 'Message:'fields. If you've enabled a personalized signature in your account, Gmail will automatically append it to the bottom of your vacation response. Check the box next to 'Only send a response to people in my Contacts' if you don't want everyone who emails you to know that you're away from your mail. Click 'Save Changes.' While the vacation responder is enabled, you'll see a banner across the top of yourGmail account, displaying the subject of your vacation response. To stop Gmail from automatically sending theresponse, click 'end now' within the banner. Or, if you'd like to edit the response,click 'vacation settings.' Keep in mind that your vacation response will start overeach time you edit it -- if someone receives your initial vacation response, and thenemails you again after you've edited the subject or body of the message, he or shewill receive the edited response, too. * Messages classified as spam and messages addressed to a mailing list you subscribe to will not receive a vacation response. updated12/15/2005 Search Help Center Still have questions?

There's a term for their seductive lifestyle - Douce France (Sweet France) and you'll find yourself using it often. Although the ubiquity of Levis and Le Big Mac flusters the country's cultural purists, anything from a year in Provence to a weekend in Paris will explain why half the world grows dreamy over stalking Cyrano's streets or picnicking Manet-style sur l'herbe . When To Go Spring offers the best weather to visitors, with beach tourism picking up in May. Temperatures aren't too bad in autumn, although the short days mean limited sunlight and the cold starts to make itself felt towards the end of the season, even along the Côte d'Azur. Winter means playing in the snow in France's Alps and Pyrenees, though the Christmas school holidays send hordes of tadpoles in uniform scurrying for the slopes. Mid-July through to the end of August is when most city dwellers take their annual five weeks' vacation to the coasts and mountains, and the half-desolate cities tend to shut down a bit accordingly. The same happens during February and March. Factoid Dirty Pretty Two possibly contradictory statistics about the French: 1. Only 47% of French people bathe or shower every day. 2.
