To activate “Out of Office Assistant”, in Microsoft Office Outlook, go to “File” then select “Info” on the left pane. Next, click “Automatic Replies (Out of Office)”. Note: if this option is not available, it means you are not using an Exchange account. Unfortunately, the “Out of Office Assistant” feature in Microsoft Office Outlook is not available on non-Exchange accounts like IMAP, POP3, and Outlook.com.

For non-Exchange accounts, go to Out of Office Assistant/Automatic Replies/Vacation Responder for a workaround. Now, in the “Automatic Replies” dialog, check “Send Automatic Replies”. If you want to specify a set time and date range, check “Only send during this time range” then set the “Start time” and “End time”. In “Inside my organization” tab, type the message you want to send within your organization.

In “Outside my organization” tab, type the message you want to send outside your organization. When you are finished, click “OK”.
