I can't see a way to set up a rule to forward any received emails to another user on those days.“ You missed the rule condition to apply the rule to mail received after a specific date and/or before a specific date. While this would work for your users, you need to be aware that this applies to whole days so if you set it up ahead of time, it will either apply to all mail received while the user is working that day or it wont kick in until midnight. This rule is available in Outlook on the web as well as in Outlook desktop. If the user has Outlook installed on the desktop, she could set up a automatic reply (out of office) rule to forward mail and configure it to begin when she leaves for the day and turn off when she returns. (As long the user doesn't enter text into the autoreply message field, it will not send an out of office reply to everyone.) Or, again only in Outlook on the desktop, you could use reminders and macros to turn a rule off and on automatically. Setting up rules in Outlook on the web for even a month of time off will be a chore, however, the administrator can use PowerShell to create and edit rules. (It might be easier to share the user’s mailbox with another user or use a shared mailbox to receive important emails. ) To create a new rule, use the New-InboxRule cmdlet: New-InboxRule -mailbox alias@domain.com -name ForwardTo -ReceivedAfterDate 10/15/2018 -ReceivedBeforeDate 10/16/2018 -ForwardTo alias2@domain.com To edit an existing rule, use the Set-InboxRule comdlet Set-InboxRule alias@domain.comForwardTo -ReceivedAfterDate 10/10/2018 -ReceivedBeforeDate 10/11/2018 -ForwardTo alias2@domain.com To remove a specific rule, use Remove-InboxRule -Mailbox alias@domain.com -Identity “Rule Name” To remove all uses, use this cmdlet: Get-InboxRule -Mailbox alias@domain.com | Remove-InboxRule To enable or disable rules, use these cmdlets: Enable-InboxRule "Rule name" -Mailbox alias@domain.com Disable-InboxRule -Identity "Rule name" -Mailbox alias@domain.com [] Colorless icons in Outlook 2016 There are a lot of threads in the forums complaining about the “anemic” look to Outlook’s Icons. These colorless icons are the new "Office look". While Office Insiders have had these icons for a few weeks, they are just now hitting more Office 365 subscribers. Judging from the complaints I’ve seen, many users are not happy. It took me a couple of weeks to get used to the new icons, especially the delete icon (the X is gone, replaced by a trash can), but I like them now, especially with the [new Simplified ribbon]( (another feature that will probably generate complaints). From the message center in Office 365 Admin: Users will see new colors and scalable icons in the topline ribbon for Desktop (Windows) versions of the apps. These updates will show new modern icons that are simpler and more accessible, and a ribbon experience that highlights the rich collaboration features available in the Office apps. We began gradually rolling this out to Targeted Release organizations in late September. It will roll out to all Office 365 organizations over the course of the next few months, and we anticipate rollout completion by the end of the year. If you feel strongly about the colorless icons, you can vote for this suggestion at uservoice: [Allow to revert to the old icon set in Outlook 2016]( [] OneNote is missing I've had a lot of users asking what happened to the Send to OneNote button in Outlook. Others just wanted to know what happened to OneNote. An upgrade happened and OneNote 2016 is no longer included with the Office 365 or Office 2018 installations. Microsoft is encouraging users to use the Windows 10 OneNote app instead. However, if you want to use the desktop version, you can download it at [(.
