Automatic Reply from New Outlook - Desktop

We are currently upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11. The desktop interface may appear differently than presented in this documentation. Please bear with us as we update and resolve these discrepancies. This process will not affect the online experience.

  1. On the View tab, select  View settings in new Outlook.

  2. Select Accounts Automatic Replies

  3. Select the Turn on automatic replies toggle.

  4. Select Send replies only during a time period, and then enter start and end times.

  5. Under Send automatic replies inside your organization, enter the message to send while you're away. (You can use the formatting options for text alignment, color, and emphasis.)

    To set up automatic replies to other people, select Send replies outside your organization, then add a separate message for that audience.

    Note: Sending replies outside your organization will send your automatic reply to every email you receive, including newsletters, advertisements, and potentially, junk email. If you want to send automatic replies to those outside your organization, we recommend choosing Send replies only to contacts.

  6. When you're done, select Save.
