Out of Office reply feature

[Hayden Bradshaw]

I'm new to Entourage. I read somewhere that Entourage 2008 is supposed to
have an automatic "Out of Office" reply feature. I don't see it anywhere.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Or does it still have to be
created in Rules?

Thanks for your assistance!

Hi Hayden!

This feature is available for Exchange users only. If you only have POP
and/or IMAP then it is not available for you.

While viewing mail in an Exchange account you'll find the option under
Tools --> Out of Office...

If you don't have an Exchange account then look at either creating a
rule, which requires Entourage to stay connected and running, or look
into options your E-mail service provider may offer via their webmail
interface.

Hope this helps!
