Setting up an Auto Reply

[Louise]

Hi all

In Outlook, how do you create an AutoReply, so when somebody e-mails you,
they get an automatic reply, thanking them for their e-mail?

My colleague has set one of these up before but can't remember how they did
it and i've never used it before.

I can't use a rule of out of office for it. What ther function is there?

Thank you.

Louise

That's only for Exchange accounts, and Louise didn't say she had one. See http://www.slipstick.com/rules/autoreply.htm

I was led to believe that there was another way this could be done, rather
than using Out of Office?

The other possibility is to create a rule:

Go to tools, rules and alerts.
Create a new rule from scratch
Choose no conditions which will ensure that it applies to all mails
Coose reply with template.
