8) I am currently out of the office. I have a cell phone, but I will not be giving the number out. If you can guess the number, however, I will take your call.
If you're unable to respond to emails because you are taking time off, attending a work event or away from your computer for any other reason, it's important to set up an out of office message. Setting up an out of office message helps keep people informed and prepares them for how to proceed in your absence. What do you write in a vacation responder?

Thank you for your email. I am out of the office and will be back on Nov 10th. During this period, I will have limited access to my email.

“Hi, Thank you for contacting me. I’m currently out of the office for a conference and will not be available until [date]. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.”
I’m on a couple of mandatory company-wide email lists. None of these ever have pertinent information, but they’re required.
I worked with a guy years ago who would update his voicemail greeting literally every time he left the office.
Yup. Well, I do specify I will have “sporadic/intermittent” access to email or “no” access to email, because there is a difference. But short and sweet is the way to go.
Uh… until when? Who should I contact in the meantime? Also, at the time of my emailing this person it was March, so I had to assume that OOO was from last year?! I finally learned that the person had left to another job. So many questions.
Glad to see that you figured out. Yes, you have to turn on DND Mode manually from Control Center.

Think about whether you want to leave a forwarding email, which is helpful for dealing with any loose ends you forgot about, in the excitement of leaving.
I emailed this person 3 times and never got a response. Thankfully they weren’t upset when we moved forward without their input.
