AskWoody PlusI do not have any experience with the laptop mentioned, but on my desktop setting that control wake-up have to be set in the bios. Check the power state of USB ports during sleep and a setting similar to “wake up on USB”

AskWoody PlusJuly 30, 2022 at 2:31 am in reply to: Thunderbird automatic “I’ll be away” replies: how to set them up? #2466713Automatic replies to incoming messages are normally not handled by mail-clients, they are handled by the mail-provider. That’s because the servers are running 24/7.
So my advise is open the mail-providers web-interface and start looking in the settings there.
This has to be done for every mail-account you want to change.1 user thanked author for this post.

AskWoody PlusTo my knowledge you just have to create an account with the same username as your AskWoody username on WordPress.com and fix the profile, adding a nice picture and your email-address. Nothing else matters and there is nothing to pay.
