“Decline and cancel my meetings during this period” – this is where the gold is.“Automatically decline new invitations for events that occur during this period” – again, self explanatory, if a little wordy.“Block my calendar for this period” – is self explanatory and will create an “away” event in your calendar for the dates defined.Once you turn on automatic replies and “Send replies only during a time period” it will show you three extra options. Select the “email” section where you’ll find “Automatic Replies”.Click on “View All Outlook Settings” at the bottom of this interface.Click on the gear icon in the top right corner. The Automatic Replies interface isn’t the easiest thing to find, so let’s start there. In Outlook on the web, the Office 365 client that you use through a browser, Microsoft have made this really, really easy to do, right there in the Automatic Replies interface. You are about to take some days off and you want to block out your calendar, you also want to decline all of the meetings that people have decided are important to you, what’s more, you’d like to decline any meeting invitation for those precious days and to cancel any recurring meeting that you have set up. As we approach this holiday season I thought I would share with you a productivity trick that you should absolutely use – assuming you are an Office 365 user.
