Setting up Out of Office Replies and Message Forwarding
1. In Outlook, go to File and then Automatic Replies.
2. Select the option for Send automatic replies. If you want to send them only during a certain time frame, check the Only send during this time range box and fill in the start and end time.
3. Put your automatic reply in the box. Be aware that there are two tabs: one for messages sent to anyone inside my organization (that means any tweetgarot.com address) and one for outside my organization (any address that is not a tweetgarot.com address). If you want an automatic reply for both, you must enter the message in both tabs.
4. If you want to set up Message Forwarding, click the Rules button at the bottom left of the Automatic Replies window. If not, please skip Step 10.
5. When the Automatic Reply Rules window appears, click Add Rule.
6. The Edit Rule window will pop up. If you just want to forward all messages to a person or multiple people, check the Forward box and fill in the people to whom you want the messages forwarded. You can fill in other information as well, like if you only want to forward messages that were sent from specific addresses or with specific subjects, etc.
7. When you’ve got that information filled in, click OK.
8. If you did not choose specific senders, you’ll get a message warning you that the rule will apply to all incoming messages. Click Yes.
9. Make sure the status box is checked on the Automatic Reply Rules box and click OK.
10. Click OK in the Automatic Replies window and you’re done.
