Out of office option

[waymas]

How can I install my out of office option in my email. I
have office xp. I use outlook as my default email. Do I
need to purchase Exchange to have this add in available?

Out of Office Assistant is an available feature only if you connect to
Microsoft Exchange Server as your mail server. If you don't use Exchange
Server, you can use Outlook Rules Wizard or one of the third-party automatic
rules processing addins. See http://www.slipstick.com/rules/index.htm and
