    Reply sender address

    Vacation messages will contain this address in the emails From field.

    My email addresses

    An absence message will only be sent for emails directed to (To/Cc/Bcc) one of these email addresses. This makes sure that no absence messages will be sent for emails you receive through email distribution lists or similar ways. The button Fill with all my addresses fills the list with all identities you defined in roundcube.

    Incoming message action

    Defines what should be done with incoming emails during your absense. You have the following options:
    Keep: Treat incoming emails as usual.
    Discard: Incoming messages are deleted.
    Redirect to: Redirect message to some other address.
    Send copy to: Keep message and send a copy to some other address.
