      Turning on Automatic Replies (Out of Office)

      On Microsoft Outlook, click "File".
      Click "Automatic Replies".
      Click "Send automatic replies".
      Click "Inside My Organization".
      Type here the message you would like to be sent to your colleagues. For example, you may be working on site and have limited access to your email.
      Next click "Outside My Organization".
      Type here the message you would like to be sent to external contacts. Suggestions include confirming whether you have access to emails or whom to contact in your absence.
      Don't divulge personal information as this could be used by a malicious actor to target your colleagues. Example: Kathy is the head of finance and is on holiday in Spain. You receive an email supposedly from Kathy asking you to make a payment in her absence because she is on holiday and can't login to complete the transaction. This sounds credible to you as you know Kathy is in Spain. But when you look more closely you luckily notice the email did not really come from Kathy.
      Once you are happy with your messages click "OK" to enable the out of office reply.

      Optional - Configuring a Date/Time Range

      Tip! Before clicking "OK" you may wish to use the scheduler tool to send automatic replies during a specific time range. This can be accomplished by selecting the tick box "Only send during this time range", then select your start and end time.

      Turning off Automatic Replies (Out of Office)

      On Microsoft Outlook, click "File".
      On the section called 'Automatic Replies (Out of Office) Click "Turn off".

      Tip! - You can also use Outlook on your Mobile Device
