Is it possible to set up an auto reply in Webmail for TalkTalk?
My email programme does not have the function but I wish to set up an auto reply to every email asking the sender to use a gmail address.

I don't know what is/isn't possible with TalkTalk mail. For my part, I had a look at my own preferred mail client and can see options for rules such as "if" sender in contacts list "then" reply with "text of message" which could be another email address. The point is that I think we all, poster included, agree that a broad brush is not a good idea!

@ferguson I couldn't get anything asking regarding auto response to come up but thought out of office might be customisable to change the heading to something like _ "New Email Address" and the date set to never end.

For my part, I am not sure what you mean by that! Emails? Here?

Thanks for responses. Thinking about it, not such a great idea as it would give junk mailers my other address.
I do appreciate your responses though.

That wasn't the question though? Forgive me if I misunderstood.

@ferguson has a valid point and my first thought was this is what scammers use to get copies of emails.
I couldn't find anything specific in TalkTalk mail help but Google returned the following AI answer to an out of office query which would probably answer your needs if it works.
I don't use webmail so I can't check it myself.
To create an out-of-office (OOF) or vacation response for your TalkTalk email, you'll need to use the email settings within the TalkTalk Mail platform. You can enable a vacation notice, set a date range, and customize the subject and message.
Here's how to set up a TalkTalk out-of-office response:
Access Email Settings: Log into your TalkTalk email account and navigate to the settings section, often found under a gear or settings icon.
Locate Vacation Notice: Look for an option related to "Vacation notice" or "Out of Office".
Enable the Vacation Notice: Activate the vacation notice feature.
Set the Time Range: Specify the start and end dates for when the out-of-office message should be active.
Compose the Message: Write a subject line and the body of your out-of-office message.
Customize Options (Optional): You may have the option to set an interval for sending the message to the same sender, specify a sender address, or enable the notice for multiple email addresses.
Save the Settings: Ensure you save the changes you've made to activate the out-of-office response.
Example:
If you are going on vacation from July 1st to July 7th, you can set an out-of-office response like this:
Subject: Out of Office
Message: "Thank you for your email. I am currently out of the office and will respond to your message upon my return on July 8th."
By following these steps, you can effectively manage your TalkTalk email and inform others of your absence.

Hmm, are you sure that's a good idea? Only personal contacts are likely to benefit from your message. Any no-reply sources i.e. most notifications of bills, transactions and suchlike will need you to change your details manually. Worse still, you will be sharing another address with any unwanted senders.
