Automatic reply from only one Thunderbird account
Hello I use Windows Thunderbird with many different mail accounts. I'd like to phase out one of them, and send back an auto reply asking the senders to change to my other email address. I did not find the way to set it up for only one phased out account (old email address). Any hint ? Thanks

I somehow overlooked the "auto-reply" facility in the Proton filter's action part ... 😇 But after fiddling quite a lot with it, it's now working fine. Also it's necessary to enable the global auto-reply setting to have the enabled auto-reply filter's action working ! A bit strange, I'd guess enabling it in the filter's definition should be enough. Again thanks for the help.

The best way is to set up an auto-reply on the webmail access point of the account you wish to retire. That will work independent of whether TB is running.
OK, good idea, but I am using Proton as mail server and I do not really know how to do this. I will ask Proton support how to do it. Thanks anyway.
