Outlook Online: 

To set up Automatic Replies on Outlook Online, first log in to your Outlook E-mail account at: 

www.outlook.com 

 

Once you are logged into your account, press the gear on the top right corner of the web page. The gear is highlighted with a red box in the below image. 

 

 

Upon selecting the gear, a menu will pop up. In the menu’s search box, type “Automatic Replies” 

 

 

In the following menu, you can turn on the option to enable automatic replies, and the window in which they are sent. For example, if I am planning a vacation from 2/1/25 to 2/7/25, I would want my automatic replies enabled for the duration of that period until my return. 

 

 

Make sure that “Send replies outside of your organization” is checked on and copy your automatic reply into it. When you are finished, press save on the bottom right. Your away message is now set! You can toggle the automatic reply feature on & off from this menu.

Tap on your GMH account to proceed. Then, select the “Automatic Reply” option. 

 

 

Here, you will be able to set or modify your away message.
