Note: Sending automatic replies to anyone outside my organization will send your automatic reply to every email, including newsletters, advertisements, and potentially, junk email.

On the Inside My Organization tab, type the response that you want to send to colleagues while you are out of the office.

Otherwise, you'll need to turn off automatic replies manually. This will turn off automatic replies at the date and time you enter for the end time. Optionally, set a date range for your automatic replies.

In the Automatic Replies box, select Send automatic replies.You can turn on automatic replies permanently or during a certain period and set up two separate messages to people inside or outside of the university.

If the sender sends you another email, they will not get another auto-reply. Outlook will only reply once to any given sender for each period when an auto-reply is enabled. Follow the steps below to specify the text for automatic replies to email messages when you are out of the office.
