How do I set up an automatic reply message - out of office or una.

[Guest]

How do I locate or set up the Out of Office option? Though I used this some
time ago, I can't seem to locate or remember how to activate this option.
Where is it? It allowed you to type your custom message which would
automatically be sent to anyone sending you emails. This was an especially
great option when you were to be away for specific time - it kept your email
senders inform [why you might not be responding right away], like you were
out of the office, on vacation, etc., returning on a specifc date.
Thanks.

If are working with a Microsoft Exchange account, the option should be under
the Tools menu. If working with an IMAP/POP3 account, the only thing you
can do is emulate the feature by using the rules wizard. Downside is that
Outlook has to be running the entire time when using the rules wizard to
emulate the out of office feature.

.... and remember to be in some email folder, then you can find it from Tools
menu. If you are in calendar, you can not find it.

This option is assigned usually to networks. However, it may be available
from individual ISP's and you would need to check with your provider. My ISP
in the UK certainly allows that facility, but it must be activated on the
web, and not directly via Outlook.

If you have OWA setup you can use the Out of Office Assistant to setup a
reply for Out of Office. This Out of Office Assistant is located under the
Options once logged into OWA. The best part of this is that the burden is
placed onto the user with giving him or her the power to turn it on or off
when they choose and also choose what the context will be in the auto reply
message.
