This page has been updated to provide information about the new U of S Email and Calendar service. If you are looking for information relating to the old U of S Email service, it is still available.

Detailed information regarding the changeover between the old and new service is also available.

There are several ways to configure out-of-office auto replies for your U of S e-mail mailbox:

From MITS

1. Log in to MITS with your NSID username and password.
2. Click on "Auto Reply" in the left menu.

From Outlook Web App

1. Log in to Outlook Web App with your NSID username and password (Note that if you are already logged in to PAWS, you can click on the "Exchange" icon to open Outlook Web App).
2. Click on "Options" in the upper right-hand corner and then select "Set Automatic Replies..." from the drop down list.

From Outlook 2010

1. Click on "File" in the upper left-hand corner.
2. Click on the "Automatic Replies" button.

All three of these approaches will allow you to configure auto replies for your mailbox as described below. You can use whichever approach is most convenient at any point in time because they all store your auto reply configuration in the same place on the U of S e-mail service.
