Send automatic out-of-office replies

- [Instructor] When you're away on vacation or simply unable to access email for a period of time, you can set an automatic out-of-office reply. Here in Outlook for Windows, go to file to go into the backstage view. Make sure info is selected, and then click automatic replies. Be aware this feature is not available for some types of email accounts. Here select send automatic replies, and you can also set a time period for it to be active. Or you can leave this unchecked, but you will need to remember to manually turn it off after your vacation. But all you need to do here is to enter the text that you want in that reply email. While this option is enabled, Outlook will automatically send this reply to any message you receive. Microsoft 365 Business and Enterprise users will have the option to set an away message for people inside their organization, as well as a separate message for people outside their organization.
