The Inbox settings page allows you to further configure preferences and settings for your infoodle inbox such as: email forwarding or notifications.

You also have the ability to set up automatic Out of Office messages for email replies coming into your infoodle inbox.

You can set up an Out of Office response message that, when active, will automatically be sent as a reply to messages that arrive into your infoodle Inbox.

  1. Enter the date of the First and Last days that you wish this response to be sent. As an example, for a four day weekend, you would set the Start date as Friday and the End date as Monday in order to have the Out Of Office reply sent on all four days Friday - Monday.

As this operates on calendar dates, you cannot set up an automatically recurring Out of Office, eg for every weekend.**

  1. Enter the Email Subject for the response email.

  2. Type in the email message to send as your Out of Office Reply.

  3. Select Disable To Do reminder emails if you wish to turn off To Do Reminders for the duration your Out of Office.

  4. Select Save when you have finished configuring these settings.

  5. If you wish to resize the Message window on your screen, click and drag using the handle in the botton right corner (if available).

To re-use your Out of Office Message, come back to Inbox Settings, update the First Day and Last Day dates and make sure the Out of Office is Active.
