    Hi,Aran Billen

    Based on your question, I know you want to automatically send out-of-office replies based on out-of-office time.

    In Outlook, there is no direct built-in feature to automatically send emails based on your preset time away from office.

    If you know that you will be out of the office at a specific time and want to set up an auto-reply, you will usually need to manually configure out-of-office replies by following these steps:

    1.Open Outlook and click on file option.

    2.Click on Automatic Replies.

    3.In the Automatic Replies dialog box, select Send automatic replies.

    4.You can specify a time range for the automatic replies to be active by checking the Only send during this time range box and setting the start and end times.

    5.In the Inside My Organization tab, you can compose a message that will be sent to colleagues within your company.

    6.In the Outside My Organization tab, you can compose a different message that will be sent to senders outside your company.

    7.Click OK to save your settings.

    auto-reply
