With most accounts you have the facility to set up Auto Responders. Auto
responders are replies to e-mails that are automatically sent ones an e-mail
is received. These can be useful if you are on holiday and some one sends
you an e-mail, this is because you could set an auto responder up to reply
with “Sorry I won’t be able to reply to your e-mail because I am in Florida
visiting Mickey mouse”. They are also good if you are running a business
because you can set them up so that if you receive a mail a reply is automatically
sent saying “Thank you for your mail, some one will be in contact with you
shortly”.

for. For example if you put in “fred” the auto responder would reply to
every mail that “fred” receives.
2. The second text box is for the from address. This is the address the
recipient thinks the e-mail will have came from.
3. The third text box is for the subject of the e-mail. For example you
