Outlook for Mac – Enable and Configure the Out of Office Assistant
The Out of Office feature of Outlook creates an auto-respond rule to notify people that you’re out of the office or unavailable. To enable it, Click Tools, Out of Office. The settings are fairly self-explanatory. Simply fill out the automatic reply message and configure the timeframe you want to enable the out-of-office settings. I recommend using this feature vs. manually enabling and disabling the auto-reply as most people forget to turn it off and that just leads to constant heckling from your co-workers. If you use the “Time Period” setting, the auto-reply will disable itself — otherwise, you will need to manually disable the auto-reply once you return to the office. Notice, in my example, I didn’t set the automatic replies to those outside my organization as the majority of outside email is SPAM. The last thing you want to do is confirm your email address to spammers. Comment Name * Email *
