Pros: - Thunderbird provides an in-built spam filter of emails. It is completely free to use and does not have any complexity in its UI. You can add multiple emails up to 12. Cons: - The UI feels a bit cluttered and outdated to use. It is a bit difficult to get used to thunderbird initially.

Out of Office responses are best set up in the webmail account which you access using a browser. So check there first. If you set it up in Thunderbird, then you would have had to leave Computer on and Thunderbird running connected to internet all the time. You would have created a template email to use. Follow the steps below to set-up an automated response for when you are out of the office or on vacation. Setting Up an Out-of-Office/Vacation Message with a Pair Mailbox Log into the Account Control Center (ACC) In the left sidebar, click E-Mail. Out of Office is an add-on for Mozilla Thunderbird 2 and 3 which sets up vacation notifications and redirections, using Sieve. These features are handled by the Sieve service of an IMAP server. Features: Redirection of incoming emails to another recipient.
Thunderbird has its own text editor, and we will use it to create our out of office reply message.
This will open the Thunderbird text editor, and you can write your reply.
on File, and Save As, Template
Important. The name of the template is the same as the subject. As you will notice in the picture above, we called it 'Out of office reply'.
Save As happens very fast, and there is no feedback that acknowledges that the template was actually saved.
2. Creating the out of office rule
on Tools, and Message Filters
Select New
The next step consists of setting up the rules.
Once you click on Reply with template in the left drop down menu, you will be able to select the Out of office reply from the second drop down menu.

As an option you may wish to mark your message as read, as shown below.
We now have to determine to whom the reply should apply.
In the example above, the rule will apply when the email To section contains our email address. You would insert your own.
In the top window under Filter name, replace the Untitled Filter with a name for the filter like: Out of office reply.
3 Turning the out of office rule on and off
We have to return to the Message filter by selecting Tools and then Message Filters in the opening page of Thunderbird.
4 Changing the template message
This is a very simple procedure with Mozilla Thunderbird. Simply open it up and select Templates.
Selecting Templates and clicking on Out of office reply will bring up your template. All you need to do is change the message in the lower half
5 Lastly, Thunderbird has to be set to check mail periodically
This is normally on by default, however it is good to confirm that Mozilla Thunderbird does indeed check for email every once in a while.

6 Spam considerations

Unfortunately, in today's world, email spam is a reality that we have to deal with.

With this in mind, every time you answer a spam email, you are indicating to the spamer that he has found a valid email address, in this instance yours. You are turning this rule on at your own risk.
