Automatic replies

In the Automatic Replies box, select Send automatic replies.

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

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

Enter your automatic reply message



On the Outside My Organization tab, type the response you want to send to senders from outside of SU.  

Note: Sending automatic replies to anyone outside my organization will send your automatic reply to every email, including newsletters, advertisements, and potentially, junk email. If you want to send automatic replies to those outside your organization, we recommend choosing My contacts only.

Select OK to save your settings.

Turn Off Automatic Replies:

When Outlook is setup to send automatic replies, you'll see a message under the ribbon with this information.
