Out of Office Auto-Reply

Out of Office / Automatic Replies

To set up automatic replies to incoming emails, follow these directions: (You will still get the sender's email messages in your inbox; the sender will simply receive an automated reply from you.)

1. Sign into your email at https://exchange.flagler.edu.
2. Click on Options in the upper-right and choose "Set Automatic Replies..."
3. If you would like to set an Out of Office / Automatic Reply indefinitely, leave the "Send replies only during this time period:" checkbox UNCHECKED.
4. If you would like to set a time frame for your Out of Office / Automatic Reply, CHECK the "Send replies only during this time period" and choose a time frame.
5. Fill out the first text box with the reply you would like to send when someone emails you from an @flagler.edu email address.
6. In the second text box, choose whether you want to send Out of Office / Automatic Replies to senders who have an email address that DOES NOT end with @flagler.edu. In most cases, you will want your automated replies to go to everyone, regardless of the sender's email address, and in most cases, you will want the automated reply message to be the same regardless of the sender's email address. In most cases, you will choose "Send replies to all external senders." You can change any of these options to suit your specific needs.
