Setting Your Out of Office Message for Outlook In Web Browser

If you're unable to set an Out of Office message on your Outlook desktop application, this may be caused by the following:

• Server is unavailable
• Message has exceeded the size limit of the server
• Too many rules in your Outlook desktop app

You can still set your Out of Office message by going to the web version of Outlook.

1. Sign in to Outlook on your web browser

2. Click on the gear icon on the top-right and search for "automatic replies" in the search area
3. Click on the result. A window will pop up for you to turn on automatic replies and enter your message
4. Once all set, click Save
