对那些经常用Outlook的办公室工作的朋友来说,第天都有很多邮件要处理,但并不是第时第刻都在电脑边上, 如外面办事的时候, 就没有办法回邮件了. 那能不能设置outlook自动回复,有些紧急的邮件就可以先自动回复。让对方知道自己的情况, 能通过其它的方法来联系.
虽然Microsoft Outlook的“外出时的助理程序”功能也可以帮你,但只有用户配置文件中包含ExchangeServer时才可 以使用,比较麻烦.
如何设置Outlook自动回复, 这里介绍一个简单的方法。
1. 先建一个纯文本邮件
这里不要使用Word作为电子邮件编辑器,在邮件中输入希望自动回复时显示的内容,例如“对不起,我目前有些事情外出,如果有紧急事情,请拨打电话13888888888之类的回复信息,当然不要忘记留下你的签名。
2. 把刚才的邮件保存为模板文件
从“文件”菜单中选择“另存”命令,将刚才新建的邮件保存为Outlook模板,例如可以命名为“外出回复”。
3. 设置邮件回复规则
下面就是设置如何回复了,
(1)打开“规则和通知”对话框,建立一个规则,这里选择“从空白规则开始”,当然检查邮件的时间仍然是“邮件到达时检查”
(2)然后在“想要检测何种条件”下选中“只发送给我”复选框,在“如何处理该邮件”下选择“用特定模板答复”
(3)接下来单击“特定模板”下划线,此时会弹出一个对话框,这里默认只显示标准模板,请从“查找”下拉列表框中选择“文件系统中的用户模板”,然后定位到已保存的“临时外出模板文件即可。
这里注意的是:选择“用特定模板答复”是有原因的,这样的规则将只向每个发件人发送一次答复,从而避免了Outlook给和你发出多封邮件的同一个发件人发送重复答复,以后,当你临时外出时,Outlook会根据事先定义的模板和规则进行自动答复,你就完全不用操心了。
*Outlook Express 设置类似。
