setting up out of office reply

[cphillips]

I am using microsoft office 2007. Can I set up an automatic out of office
email, when I am away for a few days? If so, how.

Outlook's Out or Office feature is only available when Outlook is used with
an Exchange Server; on any other email account type, its unavailable. It
can be emulated using Rules and Alerts, however, this requires leaving your
computer turned on and logged in the entire time you're gone, plus any
system event that occurs which requires user input (like a mouse click on a
system alert) or even the briefest of power failures will disable it.

If you are not using Exchange, then your ISP will usually provide a means of
sending "Out of Office" messages. You must do that not through Outlook, but
by accessing your e-mail account via a browser. Note, however, that it is
highly recommended that you do *NOT* send such messages indicating how long
you will be away from your home - that's an invitation to burglars.
