Auto Reply (Out of Office) Mode for Outlook Mail

Away from the office for awhile? Take these steps to put your email into Auto-Reply mode.

(The following instructions are for the Windows version of Outlook, but if you prefer, see these instructions for the web version).

  1. In Outlook, click the File menu to display the Account Information page.
  2. Select “Automatic Replies”.
  3. In the pop-up window, select the “Send automatic replies” bubble and check the “Only send during this time range” box. In the fields below, set the duration of your Auto Reply message.
  4. Include an auto-reply message for people inside of UVM and (optionally) people outside of UVM too. If you choose the latter option, be sure to copy and paste your out-of-office message, or some variation of it, into the “Outside My Organization” tab too. Click OK.
