You could create an email filter to search for "Out of Office" or "AutoReply" in the Subject line - and then move those incoming messages into a separate folder, or automatically mark them as read.

Ok, thanks, but I am not really following. 

I am using Outlook.

How do I move these incoming messages into a folder if I don't get them/see them?? 

Can you please clarify? I am relatively a new user.

Many thanks,

I think what Kyle is saying is to create a Rule in Outlook that pulls emails that contain words like "Autoreply" in them into a specific folder. You can do it automatically or just run it when your inbox fills up. I don't believe there is a way to control this from Marketo, its pushed from the recipients email server.

In Outlook:

- Rules > Create Rule... > Advanced Options

- Check off "with [specific words] in the subject or body

- Click on the [specific words] link to fill in "Autoreply", "Out of office", etc

- Move it to the [make a new AutoReplies folder]

- Check off Run this Rule now on messages in [whatever folder they're going to, probably inbox] and check off "Turn on this rule"

- Finish
