How to configure automatic email response messages

What is an Autoresponder?

An autoresponder is an email program that automatically responds or sends replies to email messages, depending on the incoming email or message. It includes a prewritten message that is sent to senders as an automatic response to said emails or messages. Autoresponders can be set up in email accounts as well as websites.

Responding to emails, especially time-sensitive ones, is crucial in business. However, there may be times when you are unable to respond to them promptly. This is where automatic email responses or autoresponders come in handy.
