Click on the "Send automatic replies" radio button. Here you can also set a time range and dates for the desired times to send an automatic message.  Automatic replies will start and stop automatically based on the schedule you set if enabled.

In the text box write the automatic reply you would like people to receive upon sending you e-mail.

The "Inside My Organization" and the "Outside My Organization (On)" tabs both need their own messages. They are allowed to share the same message but it must be entered on both of the tabs.

Once you have filled out the appropriate information click "OK" and automatic replies will now be turned on.
