Well if you have an Exchange account, you can connect through OWA
(webmail) and in the options there, you can set it up.

For a POP or IMAP account, you have to create a specific rule and make
sure Entourage is running during these two weeks you will be away.
Please make sure you exclude discussion lists, etc from the rule.

Many ISPs (att.net for example) have an auto-response option you can set on
the mail server so you don't have to leave Entourage running.

ATT's won't let you pick and choose to whom you send the message,
unfortunately. It lets you choose between send the reply to every message
and send the reply to each correspondent only once. I'm not sure why anyone
would choose the former instead of the latter.
