Outlook - out of office assistance

[Guest]

I am trying to set up my out of office assistant and it is not working. I
have followed the instructions under the help menu by trying to load the
add-ins under the advanced options settings however, it is still not showing
up in my tools menu? I am running outlook 2002 with XP Professional. Any
ideas?

The Out of Office Assistant is only available when you connect to an Exchange
server. If you're using POP3 for email, you'll have to set up a rule:

To add to what K Orland says, it's quite possible that your ISP has a
server-side message you can set up, particularly if they offer you web
mail......

Hi,

If you don't use an Exchange server, I think that the easiest way is to use
an Outlook add-in like Auto Reply Manager to send out of office replies. You
