Out of Office AutoReply

I used to use this a lot with Outlook Express 2003 but I can't find it with
Windows Mail. Can someone tell me how to activate the Out of Office
AutoReply please?

Thanks

Carol

You did not use Outlook Express 2003, it does not exist.
MS Outlook 2003 does, as part of the MS Office Suite.
WM or OE do not have that feature.

That's best done on your email server.
If you have webmail access, you can turn it on there, if it's available.

As mac says, you were using Outlook 2003; there is no Outlook Express 2003.
Further, Out of Office is only available in Outlook when it is used with an
Exchange Server. Assuming you still have access to and an account on this
Exchange Server, you can install Outlook 2003 on your Vista PC and continue
just as before.

go to tools, message rules, mail, and set up a message rule for all incoming
mail. Only trouble is the message gets delivered as an attachment only, and
only if you leave your computer on and mail open all the time....difficult if
you are going away on holiday.

I tried to use autoreply by making a message rule:

Home users should be wary of autoreply
because it can be an invitation to burglars.
