-{{:setting-away-message-in-outlook.jpg?nolink&200 |}} You can setup a vacation message while you are away from your email in several ways. The most simple method is email yourself a specific message (see below). This may, however, not be so simple if you setup your mail program to use HTML formatted email or if you use an exotic program such as Outlook. For such occasions the webmail utility provides a nice feature (also see below). All this makes use of the Linux specific procmail utiltity, which for all STRW and IL accounts has been setup for you already (see last section below).

-===== Use Roundcube WEB mail ====
-The Observatory and Lorentz Institute provide web mail facilities ([[https://mail.strw.leidenuniv.nl/webmail| STRW]] and [[https://webmail.lorentz.leidenuniv.nl| IL]] respectively) that allow you to read and write email from your  account using a standard WEB browser. The tool providing this facility is based on the open source package Roundcube. This package has several plugins, one of which is the vacation plugin. You can access this plugin by selecting the Settings option (top right). Once selected you are presented a window with tabs, one of the tabs is the Vacation Tab:
-{{::roundcube_vacation1.png?600|}}
-Click on the Vacation tab and (after some time) you are presented the vacation form:
-{{::roundcube_vacation2.png?600|}}
-If you did not yet set a vacation message, a default text is filled in for you to modify. Then select the checkbox 'Enable vacation message' and click on the Save button. Now this text is put into your vacation message file and from this point on people who send you an email will get this text in reply.
-If you have a vacation message setup previously, you will see the text from that vacation message in the form. You now have two options,
-  * modify the text, tick the checkbox and click Save to update your message text, or
-  * leave the checkbox unchecked and click Save to remove the vacation message and thus disabling the vacation messaging system
