Out of Office - using a POP3 email setting

[Guest]

We currently use a POP3 for email at my office. I am using office 2007 and
was trying to set up an Out Of Office automatic message. I found that I had
to go set up a rule using a specific template

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP012328301033.aspx?pid=CH100777051033

The "rule" never really worked. Only a few people who emailed me during that
out time received the automatic message.

Any suggestions?

You might want to see if your ISP has a "vacation" notice you can put on the
server via webmail.....many do these days....

Check out:

http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/oooa.htm

It describes rules for creating an Out of Office, just remember that you
have to leave Outlook running for the rule to work. You also may have to set
some exceptions so that you don't cause a mail loop.

This site also mentions a third party auto reply manager from DS Development
(including a link to it) and even offers you a discount code to use.
