out of office

Hi. My name is Tricia. Can someone please call me on my cell phone at (661) 755-2643? Or write back a.s.a.p. to cia.arlene@gmail.com?

Here are the steps I took - 1.) Went to Tools, clicked Message Filters. 2.) Then clicked "New" in Message Filter. 3.) I gave it a Filter Name as "Out of Office Reply". Wrote the out of office response. 4.) I left it check marked under "Apply Filter When" for Manually Run, and Getting New Mail /Filter Before Junk. 5.) Then it says "Perform these actions". I chose "Move Message To," and it made me select a folder, and so I selected my boss’s email address, that I’m trying to set this up for. 6.) So... I turned on the "Out of Office" response by going to Tools, and I selected "Message Filters". I check marked under the word to enable, and tested from my personal g-mail address. I saw my boss received the email from me, but I on my end, did not receive the out of office prompt. Can you please help me know what to do?

I created a filter for Out of Office reply but don't see where to write my message, i.e., the template referred to above.

Forget the filters. Do this at the server. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/vacation-response
