  2. Look for 'Your app settings' at the bottom of the new right side pane, and click 'Mail'.
  3. Look for Automatic replies' on the left side pane, and click it.
  4. Click on 'Send automatic replies'.

From here you can enter in the details of your Out of Office reply, such as active dates, and the text to include in the reply. Once you are finished, click 'Save' at the top of the page.
