For my e-mail account on a Microsoft Exchange Server, I would like that, for each email received where the following two condition are met :

  • I am in the to: or in cc:
  • I have an "out of office" appointment in my outlook calendar during the time of reception of that email.

An automatic reply is sent to the sender with a message to say that I am out of office and that I will be back on the day /time where my out of office appointment ends.

Ideally, the solution should not be based on a local macro in MS Outlook (because I would need to run it each time I close and open Outlook and because I need to keep my computer on when I am out of office) but can be somehow set on the server.

I saw a post of 10 years ago, basically equivalent to this question : Is there any way to turn on my "Out of Office" automatic replies when an event in the calendar is marked "out of office"?

  • Just wondering have you had a chance to check the reply provided earlier and see if it helped?

It's still not possible from either the Outlook client side or the Exchange server side. You can post to the feedback portal to request this feature via https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/ .

As a workaround, I'd recommend setting up the automatic replies from Outlook on the web instead so that the OOF event can be created at the same time: enter image description here
