Outlook - Sending automatic replies Tutorial
In this video, you will learn about sending automatic replies in Microsoft 365. The video covers how to set up automatic replies in your Microsoft 365 account, allowing you to send automated responses to incoming emails when you are away or unavailable.
This feature is useful for maintaining communication with your contacts and letting them know when you will be able to respond.
By using automatic replies, you can save time and ensure that important messages are acknowledged even when you are not actively checking your email.
This will help you stay organized and maintain effective communication with your colleagues and clients.
