Microsoft Outlook’s Out of Office Assistant feature allows you to set up automatic replies to people who send emails while you’re on vacation or out of the office. This feature is only available to users with Microsoft Exchange accounts; however, Home users who don’t use an Exchange account can create their own out of office message templates and rules for Outlook to automatically reply. If you’re not sure about your account type, understand that Exchange accounts are commonly used by most businesses or schools. This wikiHow teaches you how to set up an out of office reply in Outlook in both cases: using an Exchange account and another.

Microsoft Outlook’s Out of Office Assistant feature allows you to set up automatic replies to people who send emails while you’re on vacation or out of the office. This feature is only available to users with Microsoft Exchange accounts; however, Home users who don’t use an Exchange account can create their own out of office message templates and rules for Outlook to automatically reply. If you’re not sure about your account type, understand that Exchange accounts are commonly used by most businesses or schools. This wikiHow teaches you how to set up an out of office reply in Outlook in both cases: using an Exchange account and another.
