Outlook Vacation Response How To Set Up

Here well show you how to set up a rule to automatically send out a reply to any emails received in a specific account as an example.

Chose Any in the next dropdown, and select Account in the dropdown below that.

There are many conditions in that dropdown that you can use, such as checking whether the sender is in your contacts or not or checking that the To field has a specific email address.

Any email coming into the account we select will be replied to with an automatic reply.

If you click the Apply button, the automatic reply will be sent for all messages already in your inbox, and you dont want to do that.

If you are not going to be out of the office quite yet, uncheck the box next to the new rule you just created.

When you are ready for your automatic reply to be sent out, you can come back to this window and check it.

If you close Apple Mail, the automatic replies will not be sent out, but they will be once you open Apple Mail again and receive email messages in your inbox for the account selected in the rule.

That means if you close Apple Mail with the rule active before you leave, when you come back and open Apple Mail again, all the emails that you receive in your inbox will be automatically replied to at that point.

So, be sure you uncheck the box for the rule when you get back from your vacation or business trip.
