Free Out of Office Manager from CodeTwo

UPDATE: We are sorry, but CodeTwo Out of Office Manager mentioned in this article has been discontinued. If you are looking for an alternative for Exchange Server, take a look at the auto respond feature in CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro.

Imagine you write to someone who has just gone on their annual leave. Not a big deal, everyone needs a vacation once in a while. But what if they forget to set up their Out of Office reply or take a sudden leave and your email is not forwarded? Personally, I would be pretty furious if I had to wait for a week just to find out someone was absent. Another problem with Out of Office replies is that sometimes they are unique, user-created. Sometimes, those automatic responses might be even worse. Most people just want to know when you come back and who to contact when you are gone. They are not that interested in your family life, or what you like to do in your free time. Some Out of Office messages make you think what kind of company is into such oversharing policy. Unfortunately, such situations happen. Neither Exchange Server, nor Office 365 lets you centrally manage those automatic replies for other users in a user-friendly way. That is why we have thought that a free Out of Office Manager might come in handy.

The freeware could also be very useful to your HR and department and managers. For them, CodeTwo Out of Office Manager will make employee time tracking almost effortless. The simple calendar view and filtering options make it easy to keep track of absences with an added value of certainty that their customers and colleagues will always know when the user returns and who might help instead.

Another thing is that standard out of office messages are sent only once per sender. That may cause a big problem if the user is out of office for a longer period – senders might forget that they have received a notice before and will wait for an answer, which might take a long time. CodeTwo Out of Office Manager lets you change this default behavior. You can change the settings so that each sender receives multiple automatic responses from the unavailable employee, for example, if the contact attempt is repeated after a few hours. It is exceptionally useful if an employee unexpectedly prolongs their out-of-office time.
