To turn on the 'Out of Office' feature in MS Outlook follow the instructions on this page - http://www.its.murdoch.edu.au/services/email/OutOfOffice.html .

Alternatively you can turn the 'Out of office' feature on and off via the internet from anywhere in the world by logging into the Exchange Webmail Interface and following these instructions;

  • Click on the 'Shortcuts' button at the top left of the screen
  • Click on the'Options' icon at the left of screen
  • In the 'Out of Office Assistant' section select 'I'm currently out of the office' and then type a message in the text area directly below
  • Click on 'Save and Close' at the top of the screen

Regardless of the method you use your Out of Office message will be sent automatically to anyone who emails you while you are away.

Dont forget to turn off the Out of Office setting when you return to work
