- Switch the Vacation Responder toggle on (it reads Inactive until you do).
- Optionally set a Date Range — Start Date and End Date — so the auto-reply runs only for a period.
- Set the Auto-Reply Message: the Subject (default Out of Office) and the Message Body (plain text).
- Switch on Formatted message (HTML) to add a rich version with links and styling; clients that cannot show it fall back to the plain text.
- Select Save Changes.
