How to Set an Automatic Reply (Out-Of-Office or Vacation Message) on Exchange Using Webmail

Setting an automatic reply (also called an out-of-office message, or vacation message) is a courtesy to allow people who email you to know that their message was received and your intention is to respond to them. An automatic reply might take this form:

Thank you for the email, I'm away from the office today and will reply to messages tomorrow or at my earliest opportunity.

For urgent matters please call our office at 604-555-1234.

Thank you,

First Last
My Company
