auto-reply

Howdy,

Is there a way to disable a Gmail account but still be able to login and see the messages.

I would also like to send an auto responder to any messages that may be addressed to that account.

I have setup a filter on all incoming mail with a * for the From search term and am able to delete them. But it appears that the auto-responder does not work for messages that do not go through the inbox.

Any other ideas?

Thank you, Keith
