Auto Reply - Away Message

[Robin]

I am trying to find out how to post an automatic reply on
Outlook for when I am away from my office. I have
searched and searched and searched and can't find the
proper area to do this. HELP!!!!!!

What version of Outlook are you running and what mode (Corp/Workgroup,
Internet Mail Only, etc.) do you have it installed in? If you're not sure,
check Help | About.

You have to have an Exchange server for Out-of-Office Assistant to be
enabled. You could probably do something similar with an Outlook rule, but
then you have to leave your machine on and checking mail the whole time.

Probably just as well that you don't; any out-of-office autoresponder you
set up is going to automatically reply to everybody who sends you a message,
including the spammers. That's a good way to dramatically increase the
amount of spam you get.

Not exactly true. It's not available in Outlook when it's in Internet mode,
only while it's in Workgroup/Corporate mode and only when used with an
Exchange server.

Open Outlook 2000 ->Tools ->Out of Office Assistant. You will then see a window. You can type in what you want people to see why you are away, and then set it to Away.
