Overview

Note: This information only applies to 1Y Class of 2008 students. All other students, faculty, and staff should continue to use NUIT's Mailtools page.

This page contains information on how to setup "vacation" or "out of the office" messages in both the Outlook client and Outlook Web Access, and tools to setup and to turn on and off "mail forwarding" and "mail replication".

Mail Forwarding and Mail Replication

Kellogg Information Systems is currently working on a self-service mail tools appliction to allow you to turn and off your forwarding and replication. Until then, please use our online form to request mail forwarding or replication.

Vacation or Out of the Office

When you go on vacation, to a conference, or are otherwise away from your email for an extended period of time, it's good to let people know that you are gone. By setting up a "Out of the Office" message anyone who sends you email while you are gone will get an automatic reply. Your "Out of the Office" message typically tells people that you are away from your email and lets them know when you will return.

We have included instructions below on setting up an "Out of the Office" message in either Outlook 2007 or Outlook Web Access.

Configuring "Out of Office" in Outlook 2007

1. Select Tools, then Out of Office Assistant.

2. Click Send Out of Office Replies.

3. If desired, select Only Send during this time range, and then set the appropriate Start and End dates and times.

4. Here, you can customize separate auto-response messages for people Inside My Organization and Outside My Organization.

"Inside My Organization" refers to anyone with a Kellogg Exchange Account (1Y Full-Time students) and "Outside My Organization" is anyone without a Kellogg Exchange Account (other Kellogg students and non-Kellogg contacts). Note you can restrict the "Outside My Organization" settings to include only people in your Contact List.

5. If you are an advanced Outlook user, you may want to set up specific rules. These rules function in a similar way to message rules. Please note that any rules you set in the Outlook client can not be modified in Outlook Web Access.

6. When you are finished, click OK. Don't forget to turn off the Out of Office Assistant when you return!

Configuring "Out of Office" in Outlook Web Access

1. Log in to Outlook Web Access using your NetID and Password .

3. Click on Out of Office Assistant on the left-hand menu.

"Inside My Organization" refers to anyone with a Kellogg Exchange Account (1Y Full-Time students) and "Outside My Organization" is anyone without a Kellogg Exchange Account (other Kellogg students and non-Kellogg contacts). Note you can restrict the "Outside My Organization" settings to include only people in your Contact List.
