OOO Detection
Mail automatically detects upcoming OOO events in your calendar, and gives you a nudge to set your OOO reply.
Mail will spot:
- OOO events from your Google, Outlook, or Superhuman Mail calendar.
- If you have an OOO event coming up in the next 7 days (and it's at least 1 day long), Mail will prompt you to set up your OOO reply and even pre-fill your responder with calendar details!
Note that for now, setting your OOO reply is only available on Desktop.
