Have You Used CAB’s Auto Reply Feature?
Did you know that you can set CAB to automatically reply to messages that are
sent to you? This is a very useful feature if you are going to be out of the office
or not available to immediately respond to messages.
Just follow these easy steps, if your CAB is FirstClass version 8.0 or higher.
1. Open CAB.
2. Go to Preferences. (To find Preferences on a Mac: click on FirstClass, at
the top left of your screen. On a PC, click on Edit to find Preferences.)
3. Click on the Messaging tab.
4. Click on Mail Rules tab.
In the “Automatically reply to” field
5. Select “Yes” in the Local Mail drop down menu.
6. Select “Yes” in the Internet Mail drop down menu.
7. In the “Reply text” box, type the message you would like senders to
automatically receive.
Here is what your settings should look like, once it is complete.
8. Click “apply” and “ok.”
When you return to your office, be sure you turn off the CAB auto reply feature.
Follow these steps:
1. Open CAB.
2. Go to Preferences.
3. Click on the Messaging tab.
4. Click on Mail Rules tab.
In the “Automatically reply to” field
5. Select “No” in the Local Mail drop down menu.
6. Select “No” in the Internet Mail drop down menu.
(Be sure you’ve selected “No” for both Local and Internet mail.)
7. In the “Reply text” field, delete all the text.
8. Click “apply” and “ok.”
Important notice: Do not send a message to yourself to test your auto reply!!
Doing so will cause a loop on the server and your account will automatically fill up
with thousands of auto reply messages. If this
occurs, your account will be disabled and
you will not receive any messages.
