Don’t you hate it when you forget to turn off your Out Of Office (OOF) automatic reply? And no on tells you that your email is sending out an automatic reply that states you will be back three weeks ago. Somewhat silly in your personal email, and downright unprofessional appearing in your work email. It is SUPER easy to change this and many other settings on TouchDown, even if you are away from your desk. (which makes it possible to turn the OOF ON if your forgot to do so and you remember when you are at the airport!)
Lets use the Android Phone as an example. Simply go to Settings, and then Advanced Settings.
Select Out of Office (OOF) reply
Make your choice
Diasble OOF turns off the automatic Out of Office Reply
Enable OOF sends out an automatic Out of Office Reply, which you can select be internal or external to your organization
Scheduled OOF allows you to specify exactly when the OOF starts and stops – I highly recommend this option if you are setting up your OOF since it requires no further action once you time away is complete. If you need to add onto it because you are having way too much fun and need to stay away form the office longer, you can easily change this time frame.
So there you go! No worries about leaving on a jet plane and suddenly realizing you are going to have to deal with tardy email responses, or even worse, remembering that you forgot to turn the OOF OFF (say that three time super fast!)
