Forwarding Email and OoO in Outlook
Enabling an Out of Office reply isn't something that needs to be sent to the helpdesk. You may accomplish this by doing the following:
- Go to FILE.
- Click
Automatic Replies.
1. Click on Send automatic replies
2. Click the CHECKBOX next to Only send during this time range.
3. Specify the date/time range that you would like to send this auto response for.
4. Input YOUR MESSAGE. NOTE: if you would like to send this message to people Outside of Edsal when they email you, I would recommend copying and pasting your message onto the Outside My Organization (On) tab.
5. Click OK.
Email forwarding is a little more tricky, but still is something that you can accomplish on your end. You will need to follow these steps to enable that:
- Click on the Settings gear icon and View all Outlook settings.
- Go to Mail.
- Select Forwarding.
- Click on the CHECKBOX Enable forwarding.
- In the Forward my email to: field, specify the email address of whom you would like to forward messages to.
- (optional) Click on the CHECKBOX if you want to Keep a copy of forwarded messages. (This will save it to your inbox AND forward it, whereas a standard forward will ONLY be redirected).
- Click on SAVE.
