How to set out of office in outlook

You may set up automated email responses if you use Microsoft Outlook for work on a computer or mobile app but are going to be away from the office for some time. These allow you to inform individuals who try to contact you when, why, and even for how long you'll be away of the office. "

For individuals who email you while you're gone, setting up automated answers is the best option for letting them know that communication will be delayed and who they may contact instead. Automated answers will continue to work until the conclusion of the time period you specify as "out of office". The automated answers would be enabled forever if you didn't set a time limit.
