Shared Mailbox: Set Out-of-Office reply

Modified on Mon, 9 Jun at 9:00 PM

If you have access to a Shared Mailbox then you can (or anyone with shared permission can) setup Out-of-Office replies just like on your own individual mailbox. Here's how:


  • Log into Outlook Web Access at https://outlook.office.com 
  • Click your icon (initials) top-right corner, choose "Open another mailbox" & type/select the Shared Mailbox to open.
    (Shared Mailbox now opens in another browser tab)
  • Click the setting icon (cog) top-right corner, then "Account" > "Email account" (verify that the account is the Shared Mailbox you wish to edit)
  • "Automatic replies" > Set message and time period, "Save"
