Understanding the Webmail Uni Wien Abwesenheitsnotiz

Are you a student or employee at the University of Vienna (Uni Wien) and looking to set up an abwesenheitsnotiz (absence notice) on your webmail? If so, you’ve come to the right place. In this detailed guide, I’ll walk you through the process of creating and managing your absence notice on the Uni Wien webmail platform.

What is an Abwesenheitsnotiz?

An abwesenheitsnotiz is a feature that allows users to set an automatic response to incoming emails when they are unavailable. This can be particularly useful during holidays, sick leave, or any other period when you won’t be able to check your email regularly.

Accessing Your Webmail

Before you can create an abwesenheitsnotiz, you need to access your Uni Wien webmail account. Here’s how you can do it:

• Go to the Uni Wien webmail login page.
• Enter your username and password.
• Click on “Login” to access your account.

Creating an Abwesenheitsnotiz

Once you’re logged in, follow these steps to create an abwesenheitsnotiz:

1. Click on the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the webmail interface to access the settings menu.
2. Select “Vacation Response” from the dropdown menu.
3. Check the box that says “Enable vacation response.” This will activate the feature.
4. In the “Subject” field, enter a brief description of your absence, such as “Out of Office – Vacation.” This will be the subject of the automatic response.
5. In the “Message” field, compose your absence notice. You can include information about your return date, alternate contact person, and any other relevant details. Here’s an example:

Message:

Dear [Recipient’s Name],

I am currently on vacation and will be out of the office from [start date] to [end date]. In my absence, please direct your inquiries to [alternate contact person’s name] at [alternate contact person’s email address].

I will respond to your email as soon as I return.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

6. Choose the duration of your absence by selecting the start and end dates from the calendar.
7. Optionally, you can set a custom “Out of Office” message for specific days or times. To do this, click on the “Customize” link next to the “Out of Office” message.
8. Review your settings and click “Save” to activate your abwesenheitsnotiz.

• Frequency: You can choose to send your abwesenheitsnotiz once per day or once per week, depending on your needs.

Once your abwesenheitsnotiz is activated, you can manage it at any time by following these steps:
