This change is particularly useful for finding out how to do things. The new feature searches everything in Outlook, including Outlook functionality. Regardless of anything else, this is the biggest change in Microsoft Search: it no longer just searches through email. If you want to see the Search tab, you’ll have to click on a blank piece of the ribbon to hide the drop-down Search bar menu.Īs you type in the Search box, the menu will filter down search terms, people, and actions to match what you type. There’s no way to change this behavior, and we don’t expect Microsoft to make it configurable. But on the other hand, it covers up a lot of the tools found on the Search tab ribbon.

On one hand, it’s pretty useful to have what feels like a clipboard of recent activity in the app at your fingertips. When you click into the new Search box (or use the keyboard shortcut), a menu that shows recent searches, people, and actions will appear. Microsoft has also added two keyboard shortcuts to help you adjust-CTRL+E and ALT+Q-which is a welcome addition for those of us who like to avoid switching between keyboard and mouse where possible. For people who have the muscle memory of clicking just above the email folder to search, this will take a little getting used to, but it’s not a huge positional leap.

So an automatic reply to EVERY incoming email is quite necessary in our daily job.Īccording to the web information as below, But if the OOF is only be sent out once, that is possible that itĬan be missed because of the overlook, the fail delivery of the email server, and so on.

When a colleague is out of office (on vacation, resignation), we need to send the automatic reply to alert the sender for the follow-up arrangement. Scenario One: Quick Response to the customer, that means once we receive an email from customer, we need to send a reply to them and let he/she knows the issue is followed, so the customer don't need to call us again to check whether the message is got by Our request is to send out the automatic reply to every incoming email to all the senders instead of one reply, that is because there are some scenarios in the daily jobs of a service industry are needed: That is not enough for our daily job pratice. Now we are using EXCHANGE (Outlook Web App) and encounter a problem that the OOF can be sent out ONCE to the email sender and no matter how long or how many emails someone sends to you.
