I had a coworker once who hated it when she got somebody’s out of office message. I asked her why it got her so bent out of shape. “Because then I have to wait until they get back to send the message again!”
In the Settings panel, select “Automatic replies,” then click “Turn on automatic replies.”

The office is closed today for the Public Holiday. We will resume normal office hours from tomorrow morning. Enjoy your day off!
I appreciate your attempt to connect with me today, but unfortunately I am no longer available at this email, or organization.
Honest communication, even in the form of an email auto reply, is a roadmap. It helps people understand how best to help you and, in turn, allows them to better help themselves. Straightforward expectation setting is a way to be respectful of your coworkers’ time and pressures, but most importantly, it’s a way to be respectful of and guard your time. Even if you don’t feel an intense need to be more open in your workplace correspondence, consider modeling the behavior for others who work with you or, especially, those who work for you. It’s a small change in behavior but it’s a meaningful one. And this summer is the perfect time to start.
If you’re in a rush or just not sure what to write use some of these out-of-office email examples in your next auto-response email message.
