How To: Set-up Your Out of Office Automatic Replies

Outlook 2010/2013/2016/2019

1. Navigate to File > Automatic Replies (Out of Office)



2. Automatic replies can be sent either to users inside of your organization or to everyone. The wording can be different. You can also specify the time range in which the auto-replies will be sent (if you don’t specify a start and end time, auto-replies will be sent until you select the Do not send automatic replies option):



Notes:

• Organization is usually defined as your company and includes people who have an Exchange Server account on your email system.
• If you select My Contacts only, replies are sent only to contacts that exist in your Exchange Server Contacts folder. If the contact exists only in a folder that is a part of an Outlook Data File (.pst), then the auto-reply message isn’t sent.
