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 a Microsoft 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.” Since the “Automatic Replies (Out of Office)” feature is available only in certain types of accounts, you can use rules to reply to incoming emails when you are away. Go to Use rules to create an out of office message for the complete guide.
