Create an Out of Office Reply in Outlook

Use automatic replies to tell people you won't be responding right away to their email messages. Automatic replies are sent once to each sender.

Forward away from Office365

For those leaving the University, you can change where your email is delivered by forwarding your email away from pennstateoffice365.onmicrosoft.com. PLEASE NOTE: At this time, Oct 31, 2018, Ag IT is not sure of how long this forward will remain in place. Just something to be aware of as the University creates a new policy.

Forward your PSU Email

If you are leaving the College and are removed from the College of Ag Sciences' Exchange server, these steps allow you to change where email sent to your Userid@psu.edu is delivered. You can forward your mail to the default Penn State email servers (email.psu.edu) or even to an outside Penn State address.

MS Outlook within Edge

Yes, you read that correct. Microsoft wants to help streamline Outlook and Edge together, in one browser window. A new feature will be added to your Outlook and Edge (MS’s browser) to help streamline your Outlook and browser experience. If you click on a browser link in Outlook, a browser window will open in Edge and Outlook will open right alongside of the browser window. MS is helping you keep your email right there with you, during your browsing experience.

Transfer Mail Folders

Sometimes it is necessary to transfer an entire folder of mail messages to another person (job shift, sharing files).

Turn Off Outlook's Desktop Alert for New Email

The Desktop Alert that Outlook displays by default when new email arrives can be a major distraction and productivity drain. Yes, you may see just enough of the message content to recognize that it may be important. But it may take you several minutes to completely refocus on a task that has been interrupted.
