How do I set an automatic "away-from-office/ home" message for a name@idnet.com webmail address please?
For me as a home user I think the only way I could do this is to have my PC permanently on line with an automatic send/receive set and then create a rule which when activated which would send "an out of office" template email to the sender. There may be other ways, someone may have a better idea.
Can't access it from my phone, but I'm sure I've seen a 'Holiday message' feature somewhere. Have you looked is your customer account, under Email settings?
Simon,
I know it's there. I set it four days ago and now I can't find it to switch it off!
Sorry didn't know you managed to set it up, anyway I can't find anything either

That is where I thought it was as well, but can't find it anywhere now! Not even in webmail!
It was somewhere around (in account settings I think) when I set it on March 30th. How could it disappear??
It definitely used to my in the account area, but I can't see it now. To me it looks like it's changed as I can't even seem to delete an email address now.
I'm going to slap the naughty stick at tech support for making changes and not telling any one :whistle:
I've dropped IDNet an email, with a link to this thread, so hopefully all will be made clear in the morning. :dunno:
It's there this morning.
A miracle! ;D
I can't help it, I just have this effect. ;D :out:
It must have been on holiday. ;D
;D
Always possible.
Many thanks all!
This raises the more general point that the Idnet webmail service is anything but user friendly - at least it isn't for me. I can only handle my mail properly by lobbing it into MS Outlook or Gmail.
You really need to talk to IDNet about that. TBH, I only ever use webmail as a last resort, so it does enough for me.
