If you use Microsoft Outlook for work on your computer or even the mobile app but are going to be out of the office for some time, setting up automatic email replies is an option. These allow you to notify people who try to contact you when, why, and even for how long you'll be out.

If you want to make it easier on those emailing you to know communication will be delayed and who to contact while you're away, setting up automatic replies is the way to go. Automated responses will remain on until the end of your specified 'out of office' period. If you chose not to determine a period, automatic replies would be on indefinitely until you turn them off.

Here's how to set up your out of office reply in Outlook.

You can forward emails from Outlook by creating a rule that instructs Outlook to automatically forward email to another person or email account, as long as it's in your Outlook contacts.
You can set up forwarding using the Rules button in the ribbon bar.
When you set up a forwarding rule, you can forward all the email arriving in a specific email account, from a specific person, or fine-tune the rule to suit your needs.

There are times when you might want to automatically forward email that's arriving in Outlook to another account. If you're going on vacation, for example, it can be convenient to auto-forward messages to a coworker.

Outlook makes forwarding email easy to do, once you know how.

How to forward emails from Outlook

1. In Outlook, make sure you're in the Mail view. In the ribbon bar, click 'Rules,' and then click 'Create Rule' in the drop-down menu.

2. The Create Rule dialog box will automatically be ready to create about whatever email is currently selected, but mail forwarding isn't one of the action options, so click 'Advanced Options…' in the lower right corner. You should see the Rules Wizard.

3. To use the Rules Wizard, you'll need to specify two things: What messages to act on – this is the rule's 'condition' – and what to do with the message, which in this case will be forwarding it to another email account. Start by specifying the condition. If you want to forward all email that is sent to a certain email account, click the checkbox for 'through the specified account.' Then, in the Step 2 field at the bottom of the dialog box, click 'specified' and choose the email account you want to act on.

4. You can also choose to forward email 'sent only to me' (as opposed to mass mailings like newsletters) or any of the other options. You can also choose multiple conditions, so they work together – such as emails sent to a specific account that are addressed only to you.

5. When you're done, click 'Next'
