Out of office automated reply.

Can anyone help. I'm going on holiday and need an automated out of office reply to my incoming e-mails.

You can set a Mail Rule to automatically reply to messages (or messages which meet certain criteria) with a predetermined text. Of course this requires your computer to be on and connected 24/7.
Otherwise your ISP might offer this facility, some do, but you would have to ask them.
Or, if your ISP offers email forwarding, you could forward your messages to a free Yahoo account (preferably also delivering them as normal): in the Yahoo Mail Options you can set up a 'Vacation Response'.

  • Users are not able to use Outlook 2010 to view free/busy information and cannot set Out Of Office automatic reply

    Hi All,
    Please help me.
    I have an issue where users are not able to use Outlook 2010 to view free/busy information and cannot set Out Of Office automatic reply. But they are can set Out Of Office automatic reply from OWA. My exchange server is Ms Exchange 2010.
    The test E-mail AutoConfiguration failed with this error:
    Autodiscover to https://mydomain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml starting
    GetLastError=12175; httpStatus=0.
    Autodiscover to https://mydomain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml Failed (0x800C8203)
    Autodiscover to https://autodiscover.mydomain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml starting

    Any idea?
    Thanks,

    OK.
    Please follow this step.
    1. As you said you are in coexistence step , so for now all endpoint already point to Exchange 2010 right?
    2. Check legacy owa redirect that you already configure
    3. In Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "Autodiscoverinternaluri" by this command set-clientaccessserver -identity "servername" -autodiscoverinternaluri
    https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml. and don't forget to create autodiscover record in DNS
    4. in Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "EWS" path by this command set-webservicesvertualdirectory -identity "XXX\Default web site name" -internalurl
    https://yourinternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx -externalurl https://yourexternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx
    5. don't forget to replicate freebusy from Exchange 2003 to Excahnge 2010 via public folder.
    You error look like client cannot get autodiscover process please check it again.

  • Out of Office Auto Reply

    Does this exist server side ?
    If so Where ?

    I found you can access it by pointing your browser to the server (be sure to have web services enabled).
    1) Click on Email Rules
    2) Login as the user you wish to setup out of office reply
    3) Select "Vacation Notice" on the left side of the window.
    4) Make changes and hit save.
    I have not tested it yet, but I found this by poking around.

  • 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.

  • Mac Mail: How to prevent out-of-office reply infinite loop

    I'm in the habit of sending myself e-minders to my own email. I'm leaving town and enabled my out-of-office reply and later sent myself a message and it created a continuous loop of replies that would have overwhelmed my inbox had I not caught it. Is there a way to avoid this? I set up rules saying only to reply if "From" did not include my email address but the loop still happened.
    Thanks for your input!

    Get yourself another email address, like Gmail and forward to it instead of using the vacation message feature.

  • 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

  • Is it possible to use a non-null sender in auto-reply / out of office messages?

    I am using a smarthost that blocks null senders by default.  They have indicated that they can provide an override for our server to allow null senders, but the e-mail from null senders will go out a "high risk" IP that is likely to get
    blacklisted because e-mail from null senders is triggering more blacklisting as of late.  I would prefer to make Exchange populate the sender field on the outbound auto-reply / out of office messages.  Is this possible?

    Hi PRDIT,
    Based on my knowledge, it is impossible to achieve this goal by normal method directly.
    Thanks

  • How to configure selective automatic reply (out of office) using Exchange2010

    Hi, I want to configure automatic reply to eveyone except for some specific mail address - this need need to be configured through the OWA interface and not through the Outlook 2010 client.
    Automatic reply (out of office) is limited to all incoming messages (no way to specify exception list of mail) and rules cannot be configured without the outlook client running....
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Based on my understanding, you want to configure OOF excluding some specific users, this means that automatic reply shouldn't be sent to these specific users. I'm afraid it's hard to achieve this. The only available way is to emulate this
    by using a rule in Outlook.
    Best regards,

  • Out of office reply

    hi, cyberfaithful:
    I made a rule to reply to message automatically when I'm out of office in Mail.
    It works fine.But if I send an attachment to any receipients. their out of office reply send the reply and the attachments (plus my original email) all back to me.
    ny way not to send back the "attachment" if there is one?
    Kinston

    Hello,
    If I am understanding you correctly, you are talking about keeping your auto-responders from going in circles. You send to them, them to you, and yours back to them.
    If that is what you are talking about, then that should be pretty simple.
    Any reply to your out-of-office message should contain the subject and / or body of your out of office message. Even if it is returned.
    So, here's what I would do.
    Insert some garbage code like: KXTGSW
    either in the subject or body of the message that your auto-responder sends.
    Then, configure your auto-responder rule to ignore (or not respond) to incoming messages that contain that text anywhere in their message body or subject.
    Alternatively, you could also configure that rule to send out a different message (with or without your attachment) if it detects that your message came back.
    That should do it.
    If I have misunderstood your question, then let me know where I got it wrong, and I'll try to help.
    I hope this helps.
