Microsoft 365 (Outlook for Windows) - Create an Out of Office Reply
Create, edit, and turn off out-of-office messages, set a time range for them to run, and set different messages for different groups.
1. Select File > Automatic Replies.
2. Select Send automatic replies.
3. If you want, select the Only send during this time range check box to schedule when your out of office replies are active. If you don’t specify a start and end time, auto-replies are sent until you manually turn them off.
4. On the Inside My Organization tab, type the response that you want to send to Parkland folks while you are out of the office.
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 of Parkland, select My contacts only.
5. Click OK to save your settings.
