OFFICE 2000 AUTO REPLY WHEN OUT OF OFFICE

[Emily]

Does anyone know how to set up an auto reply when out of
the office for a period of time?

Please help.

Thanks.

Good day, Emily. It is funny that you should ask; my post
right below yours is related to this identical issue.

If your Out-of-the-office feature is working (unlike mine)
you simply click on Tools | Out of Office Assistant within
Outlook on the client PC. You then add a message that you
want to send, as a reply, to any incoming e-mail messages
and then click on the "I am currently Out of the Office"
radio button to enable the feature. Additionally, you can
add rules to handle specific incoming e-mail.

I hope that helps!

Kurt, I wish it did help but when I go to tools there is
not an option for out-of-the-office. Do I need to set up a
rule since I don't have this option?

Are your Outlook clients Exchange clients? If not, then
you will not see this option. For this instance you
should create a rule to emulate this feature.

Good luck,

Are you connecting to an MS Exchange Server?
If not, you can't use Out-of-Office.
