You can enable automatic out-of-office replies whenever you want to let people who sent you e-mail know that you will not be responding to their message right away. The easiest way to enable this feature for a shared mailbox is through the Outlook Web App (OWA). Please follow these steps:
- Open your shared mailbox in OWA using the following URL, where "mailbox" is replaced with the actual name of your mailbox:
http://outlook.office.com/owa/mailbox@uwindsor.ca
- Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen to access OWA "Settings" menu:

- Select "Mail" form the Settings menu:

- On the "Options" screen, ensure that "Mail" and "Automatic replies" options are expanded, then click on "Automatic replies"

- Click on "Send automatic replies" radio button, then proceed to configure other options as needed.
- Click on "Save", then the arrow icon next to "Options" to save your changes and exit settings menu.
