How do I set up an automatic (out of office) reply?
Auto-reply messages are excellent for immediately alerting those sending an email to you especially if there will be delays in a reply due to an absence or vacation. Turn on auto-reply to tell senders when you are on vacation or out of the office and answering questions on your behalf in the short-term. The emails sent to you will still be sent to your inbox.

How do I create a rule to organize incoming messages?
A rule can perform a specific action on an email, as it is received, based on criteria that you set. For example, if you want emails from John Smith moved into a folder named "John Smith", when the email is received, you can set that up. You can also forward emails to other accounts, delete them, etc.

I accidentally deleted an email (or folder). How can I get it back?
Messages that have been deleted move to the Deleted Items folder. They remain there for five years unless you manually empty your Deleted Items folder or delete select messages. Outlook allows you to recover messages that have been removed (emptied) from the Deleted Items folder within the past 14 days.

How do I open another mailbox and "Send on Behalf Of" that account?
Some employees have access to other, shared mailboxes. For example, if you work in the IT Support Center, you may have access to the support@svsu.edu email address. Access to this mailbox would need to be approved by the owner of the mailbox and set up by a system administrator.
