Option to apply Automatic replies (out-of-office) recurrence in Microsoft Outlook 2016.
It would be great to be able to specify recurrence (same as in calendar appointments) on automatic replies (out of office) in Outlook 2016. For example: I am out of office every "odd" Friday.

This would be extremely useful. I work part time and even after 10 years people seem to forget that I won't be in the office on a friday

Yes!!!
Would also be great if one could set up recurring automatic replies for out of regular working hours.I work with people from all over the world who often wonder why I don't reply to their emails when it's for example 2 am in my time zone or it's the weekend.

I'd like to have an Auto Reply for EVERY FRIDAY saying I'm not on emails, but developing creative solutions, well-being and productivity.
I don't want to have to turn this on every Friday.
Please make this automatic.

Shame to see this issue has been proposed since 2016 but still no action from MS?
I have been doing a search across proposals and it has been coming up every year... -

For people who are out of office 1 day per week, please add an option to activate the autoreply message reccuring, as it is possible for a meeting :
for example : wednesday from 8am to 6pm, every week. Or every 2 weeks, etc... -

Create an option for setting up a scheduled out of office mail that enables and disables itself based on selected days of the week.

Réponse automatique programmée pour un jour par semaine
Automatic answer programmed for one day a week
Je suis absente un jour par semaine, tous les mercredis. J’aimerais avoir une règles qui me permette de mettre en place une réponse automatique tous les mercredis de l’année et que je n’ai plus à m’en préocupper.
Si en plus je pouvais avoir un message d’absence automatique à chaque fois qu’une absence est renseignée dans mon agenda, ce serait parfait.I am absent one day a week, every Wednesday. I would like to have rules that allow me to set up an automatic answer every Wednesday of the year and that I do not have to worry about it any more.
If in addition I could have an automatic absence message every time an absence is filled in my calendar, it would be perfect. -
