How do I set an out of office response?

I'm going out of town and need to set an out of office reply to incoming emails. How do I do this?

This feature depends on your e-mail provider, but with Apple's iCloud you can do this by logging into icloud.com, clicking the "Mail" application, and then clicking the gear menu at the top-right to get to the preferences. Then go to the Vacation settings and enter a message as an automatic reply to send. Checking the box to automatically reply will enable this feature.
Alternatively you can set up a rule in Mail on your Mac to act on any received message and send a reply.

OWA logs user out when they try to set an Out Of Office Message

After upgrading to Exchange 2013 users can no longer set their Out Of Office (via OWA option 'Set Automatic Replies'). When a user tries to do so via OWA they are immediately logged out and get the error message "The user name or password you entered
isn't correct. Try entering it again."
We are currently on CU3, not sure if the problem was introduced in Exchange 2013 initially or once CU3 was applied.
Users see the same behavior when they try to check a Message Delivery Report via OWA.

How do I put an 'Out of Office' automatic response to incoming mail please?

I cann't see how to put the 'out of office' message on when on vacation. Please help?!

Using the "rules" method requires that Mail stay running while you are gone and is prone to problems. The biggest problem arrises when you start an "out of office war" with another contact who has done the same thing. Both of your email clients will continually bombard each other with replies.
The best way to set that up is on your email provider's server. You can do this with an Exchange account (in the Account Info settings from within Mail, I think). For an iCloud account, you can set it on the www.icloud.com website under Mail settings.
For other accounts, you will have to ask your email provider.

Query regarding the message being set for out of office in core reply body

Hi I am using this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh532556(v=exchg.80).aspx for setting the automatic reply message out of office.
The issue i am facing is that newline characters seem to be ignored by ReplyBodyMessage property http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/exchangewebservices.replybody.message(v=exchg.150).aspx
Its replacing the new line chars with a space char. Is there some way around this of making message property accept newlines etc.
Any sort of direction would be great help
Thanks
Madhur

You should be using HTML Markup if you want to put new lines in eg
OofSettings oof = service.GetUserOofSettings("[email protected]");
oof.ExternalReply = "test line 1<br>test line 2<br>test line3";
oof.State = OofState.Enabled;
service.SetUserOofSettings("[email protected]", oof);
Cheers

How do I stop out of office message in outlook web exchange on firefox

A number of ppl ask how to set up öut of office"reply. I have the opposite problem. I set it up when I was using IE. But I cannot see how to stop it from going out. Do I have to go back and make IE my default browser to solve this? (I am using outlook web exchange for email)
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I noticed it today

No, all you need to do is to open IE and go to your Outlook Web Exchange preferences and change your setting for out of office responses. Firefox being the default browser doesn't stop you from using IE.

Project Server 2013 - Out of Office Sync - Only two months in future?!?

Hello there guys,
after Long Long search for the problem, I've found out that our Project Server 2013 only syncs the out of Office time from our Exchange Calendar for the next two months.
But for our Project planning we Need of course a more longtime synchronization, at least 6 or better 12 months.
I didnt find any Option where I could set it to sync more then 2 months of the out of Office times in the calendars.
I've spent already so much time on this Problem... When I set the Project Server time 2 weeks(!) in the future, then the sync will also sync two more weeks in the future, but not more.
The timesheet periods are also set for the next 12 month.
Does anybody have an Information/help regarding this Problem for me?
How can I set the Out of Office sync to synchronize more then just 2 months?
THANK YOU VERY MUCh!!
Regards
Lukas Meyer
PS: Using the current October 2013 CU.

I've searched the Verbose Log and found the following:
12/17/2013 14:38:16.32 Microsoft.Office.Project.Server (0x0928) 0x1A6C Project Server Exchange Sync aaubf Verbose PWA:https://servername/PWA, ServiceApp:Project Server-Dienstanwendung, User:PROJECTSERVER\system,
PSI: Calling service.GetUserAvailability() for user:2c3909bc-d6fb-e211-b239-000c296be823 for period:12/17/2013 00:00:00-02/17/2014 00:00:00, LogLevelManager Warning-ulsID:0x00014045 has no entities explicitly specified. 3a2f619c-f4a0-f018-b62b-b2d1299a489f
So the Project Server is only asking for two months of User Availability on the Exchange. Where can I Change this Setting so that the Project Server syncs more then 2 months?
Otherwise this functionality is quite useless in my view as we are planning our Projects longer then only 2 months...
Thank you!

Out of Office error: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.'

Hi,
This is my first post in the forums. Please forgive me if it's in the wrong category or if it's not posted correctly in any way.
I'll try and give you below as much information about the problem we have here as I can.
What we have:
- an on-premises Windows 2012 Standard server that is the PDC, DNS and DHCP server;
- a second Windows 2012 Standard server with the sole purpose of hosting our Exchange 2013 CU7 server;
- Windows 7 PCs with Office Home and Business 2010 v.14.0.7143.5000 (32-bit);
- Outlook 2010 connects through Outlook Anywhere (mail.ourdomain.com).
The problem:
If trying to set up Out of Office through Outlook on the client PCs, we'd get an error message: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.' Interestingly, it does work normally for some users.
It works fine for all users if done through OWA.
Tests performed:
User 1 on PC1 has the problem. User 2 on PC2 doesn't have the problem. Both users are members of the same security groups.
- setting up User 2 on PC 1: the problem exists;
- setting up User 1 on PC 2: the problem exists;
- setting up a second Outlook profile on PC2 within User 2's domain account (the one that works), for the same User 2: the problem still exists!
I haven't been able to set up an Outlook account that works since this issue was discovered, although there are existing Outlook accounts that do not have the issue.
Let me also point out we have another issue we are working on and which may or may not be related: the Autodiscover function in Outlook doesn't work. Test E-mail AutoConfiguration results in 'Autoconfiguration was unable to determine your settings!'.
I can see postings in the Internet of other people having the same problem with OoO, but couldn't see a solution that fits my case: some existing accounts in Outlook are fine, other are not and newly created profiles of aforementioned working accounts do not
work. The majority of the articles/threads I read suggest recreating the Virtual Directories in Exchange, but we did that just a month ago (when troubleshooting the Autodiscover problem) and besides if the problem is in the Virtual Directories, I would expect
it to affect all accounts.
Any help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need other details.
Apologies if the posting is not in the right place or not done properly - I'm still learning.

The IIS log files on the CAS might tell you something. Depending on how your proxy server handles NAT the IP address of your connection might be from the proxy server instead of your client.
In any case, a tool like Fiddler (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler) can be extremely helpful in working on problems like this because it can decode the SSL traffic on the client and you can see what's being sent
and what's being received.
Another thing to check (although it's unlikely to be your case) is whether or not your browser (when you try connecting to the autodiscover URL) thinks it's in the "Internet" zone. the "Local intranet", or at a "Trusted" site.
The domain names you use on machines on your LAN should be excluded from being proxyed. Anything with "." in the name will be set, unless excluded, to the proxy server.
Is the time correct on the client machine? Is it more than 5 minutes different to the Exchange machines and domain controllers? That'd be something that would cause Kerberos to fail.
A certificate can be a problem if its expired or if it doesn't have the correct names. But I wouldn't worry about the uglog.com domain just yet. Until you get the Autodiscover working with the SCP you have bigger problems.
If you've never used a WPAD file then don't worry about it. It's very useful if you have a complex network and you want to manage how browsers connect to servers. For example, if you have multiple proxy servers the each manage a different set of names, an/or
if some names should bypass proxy servers entirely and just connect directly. If run a strictly Microsoft network with only Microsoft product that you can manage with GPOs (and you can enforce those GPOs on every machine -- even the BYOD ones) you probably
don't need a WPAD.

Outlook 2007 & Exchange 2007 - Out of office assistant not working

Hi,
when using outlook 2007 and the users mailbox is on an Exchange 2007 server the out of office assistant doesn't work. When you start the out of office assistant the following message is displayed:
'Your Out of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.'
Using Outlook 2003 and connect to the same mailbox, the assistant works fine, however you don't have the additional features new to the Assistant.
Also, when using outlook 2007 and connect to an Exchange 2003 mailbox the out of office assistant is also functioning fine.
Using Outlook Web Access on Exchange 2007 to set the out of office assistant works also fine, so the error message is not correct.
Any idea how to fix this ?
Franc.

Whilst I agree that auto-discover and other comment's could be upheld, I know that even when EWS and auto-discover are setup correctly that this problem will still occur.
I manage an Exchange 2007 environment with 300 users and and Exchange 2010 environment with 700 user's all using Outlook 2007. We are in the progress of deploying Outlook 2010 but I know with the new authentication process of the Outlook
client with Exchange 2007 or older and Outlook 2007 or older, this problem will still occur.
I know that their are just a few out of a 1,000 user base that experience this problem, so I don't see how global settings and configurations and settings are the culprit.
Just like the problem caused by a badly designed update in November or December of last year that meant auto-discover does not auto-configure a new Outlook profile because it would not detect the user's e-mail address but somehow create some random e-mail
address with the AD account name before the @ and the FQDN for the domain name, which involved a further release of another update several month's later to fix that.
Plus the other problem with the daily and frequent prompt's throughout the day for OWA domain login credential's despite being authenticated and Outlook contacting Exchange fine signified by the bottom-right hand corner status stating so. I press escape
and Outlook carries performing as normal for it do the same a few hours later, however I find that after about half a dozen prompt's over several days, it will disconnect the Outlook client saying 'Need Password' in the bottom-right, which despite left and
right-mouse clicking does not load a login prompt to re-enter credentials that I should not need to be doing in the first place considering that I am logged in with the correct domain account on my computer and using the destined mailbox for that AD account.
Exiting Outlook gracefully and re-launching Outlook a few seconds later allowing time for the background application handles and sub-handles amongst probably other things from the previous Outlook session to close (although, I do find every so often this
process is hampered every so often by having to end the Outlook.exe process directly through Task Manager before being able to re-attempt launching the Outlook client) and Outlook will just reconnect without the need or receiving a prompt to enter the login
details but I will no doubt receive another login prompt that I can likely just press cancel to or the escape button or perhaps, have to follow the above process again.
Just like releasing SP1 for Exchange 2010 to add more problems that worked without it but fixing those problems that existing in 2010.
I find that deleting a database result's in a failure error that in fact does successfully remove the database but since SP1, I know have to run a shell command to remove the database in the registry to delete an entry from a 'state' and 'lockstate' folder
before I am rid of the Exchange configuration, to then have to suspend all database copies on that server and re-start all of the Exchange services before I can actually delete the edb file. Just absurd.
It's all just a backwards and forwards exercise with Microsoft but would love permanent solutions to all of the above. Please advise on the above because it is a major irritation.

How can I set up an autoresponse triggered by the hour rather than a day

Hi I would like to set up thunderbird so that it automatically sends an out of office response between 6.00pm and 8.00am, is there a way I can do this?
Thanks

You will probably need to use javascript and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/filtaquilla/ this add-on].
