One of the things I need to do when I’m about to go out of the office is to set up my automatic replies in Microsoft Outlook. It’s usually the last thing I do before I sign off and it can be really frustrating when I can’t remember how to do it. So, here’s a guide to simplify the process. What to do: On the View tab select View Settings . Select Accounts > Automatic replies . Select the Turn on automatic replies toggle. Select Send replies only during a time period and then enter your preferred start and end times. Under Send automatic replies within your organization enter the message to send while you’re away. To set up automatic replies to other people, select Send replies outside your organization , then add a separate message for that audience. When you’re done select Save .

If you want to send automatic replies outside your organization I recommend clicking the box, Send replies only to contacts . And that’s it! Your contacts will now know you’re out of the office.
