How do I enable an automatic vacation reply?

To set your Vacation Auto-Reply, you will need to do the following:

Go to the UCSB Connect Webmail Link
Log in with your UCSBNetID Username with the @ucsb.edu at the end.
Enter your UCSBNetID Password when asked for your password.
Go to the Gear icon () in the upper right hand corner and go to Settings.
Under General, scroll all the way to the bottom to the section labelled Vacation responder.
You can set the vacation responder to being on or off, when the first day it should start and the last day it should respond and the message it should respond with.
Once you are done, click on the Save Changes button at the bottom.
