You can set up an out-of-office message so that people
who send you mail while you are away from the office receive a reply
automatically. The automated reply tells people who send you mail
that you are out of the office, and tells them when you will return.
Procedure
- From your Inbox, click the arrow
by More and then click Out of Office.
- Specify your leaving and returning dates, and then do any
of the following tasks. When you have completed your selections, click Save &
Close.
- Click the Standard Notification tab
to change the automatic reply message.
- Click the Alternate Notification tab
to send a different message to specified people or domains.
- Click the Exclusions tab to cancel
replies to specific people, groups, internet addresses, or messages
containing certain text.
What to do next
On the specified return date, you receive a welcome back
message that lists the people who received automatic replies while
you were out. You continue to receive welcome back messages until
you disable out-of-office mail.
