Microsoft returns email

You're referring to the "Out of Office" or "AutoReply" feature in Microsoft Outlook!

When you set up an Out of Office reply in Microsoft Outlook, you can specify a message that will be sent to anyone who emails you during a specific period of time. This feature is useful when you're going to be away from your email for an extended period, such as a vacation or a business trip.

Here's how to set up an Out of Office reply in Microsoft Outlook:

  1. Open Microsoft Outlook and go to the "File" menu.
  2. Click on "Automatic Replies" (in Outlook 2010 and later) or "Out of Office Assistant" (in Outlook 2007 and earlier).
  3. Check the box next to "Send automatic replies to everyone outside my organization" (if you want to send the reply to external contacts).
  4. Set the start and end dates for when you want the Out of Office reply to be sent.
  5. Enter the message you want to send in the "Automatic reply" field. You can include details such as your expected return date, contact information for someone who can assist with urgent matters, or a simple message saying you're unavailable.
  6. Click "OK" to save your changes.

When you set up an Out of Office reply, Microsoft Outlook will automatically send the specified message to anyone who emails you during the designated period.
