Auto reply in outlook 2016

Question

Hi everyone

I configured an auto reply for user's mailbox.

I sent an email to this mailbox and I got a message as I expected.

But after 2 min I sent an email to same mailbox but I didn't get the auto reply message...

Someone can help with this?

Thanks

Hi @michael lustig ,
Agree with Andy, it's by design that the oof could only send one time to a user and we may have no option that could change it.

For your requirement, it's suggested to create a new template and Outlook rule for your receiving messages (Rules>Manage rules and alerts>New rule>Apply rule on messages I received>set action"reply using a specific template"), for more detailed information, it's suggested to refer to this article : Use rules to create an out of office message

But it's worthy mentioning that you must leave Outlook running to have the rule send automatic replies to your email messages while you're gone. Hope that would also be helpful to you.

If you set up an Out Of Office reply, that is expected. It only fires once per enabled session
