  3. Click 'Manage Email Accounts'
  4. Scroll to the bottom and click 'Manage Email Accounts' again.

Via the Email Control Panel:

Login here:

Login with the account information for which you want to set up the auto-reply. For example, if it's john@yourwebsite.com you would login with this information:
