out of office reply?

[beaver]

How do you use this on Outlook Express? I'm away for a week and want this message to reply to my emails in my absence.

Thanks..

I think OOO is set on the Exchange server - so if you're using OE at home from a web based POP account you'll not be able to do this...

It's on my office server but I don't use Exchange, i guess this explains why i can't find it on OE!

Simplest way is to create an Out of Office message. Save it to disk somewhere and set up a mail rule so that OE will autoreply to any incoming messages with this template.

Of course depending on what server you are using for e-mail it might well have OOO capabilities (vpopmail + it's web management does... but I can't be arsed to use it).

If it's a web-based email system via your ISP, then it might be worth checking if you have a 'holiday' or OOO autoresponder. BT have one as standard on their email.
