Many Internet-based email providers (Gmail, e.g) now include a vacation auto-responder. Since Outlook needs to be running for the workaround demo'd here to work, these auto-responders are usually a better solution.
See the attached file for instructions on how to configure the Gmail auto-responder behavior.
Explore delivery options in Outlook, including delaying or scheduling emails and configuring reply-to recipients. Learn to save or skip copies of sent messages and apply global options in Backstage View.

Learn to manage multiple calendars by viewing them side by side or in overlay mode, schedule meetings using the schedule view, and send meeting requests while handling access and calendar sharing.
Explore five ways to create tasks from existing Outlook items: flag emails, drag and drop emails or calendar items to the task module, and use daily task list.
Mark tasks as complete, assign high priority tags, and switch views to see completed or prioritized items. Use right-click to flag for follow up and focus on simple to-do lists.
Create an Outlook template to prepopulate contact records with fields like web page, phone, address, and company, then save it to the Microsoft templates folder for reuse.
