Yes, you are correct. You are not using MS Exhange Server at home. Are you trying to use your office email account? If so then you don't need to do anythig as your office exchange server does the work for you but you can still download messages at home. Otherwise, you will need to use web-based email such as Yahoo, which does have vacation Reply option which you can use it to your advantage.

Hope this helps.

How do i know if I am using MS Exchange Server as my mail server? Can i
choose to use it?
I am assuming it isn't my mail server at home as I don't have an out of
office pick in my TOOLS menu, although I thought i set this comp up exactly
like my comp at work (which does have it available
Thanks

I use non Microsoft products wherever possible which requires no activation.

I use Netscape 7.2 as my default browser which has everything I need for my work.

Look in the list of mail accounts in Outlook. IF you don't see Exchange
there, then you don't have it. If you're working from home and not
connecting to an Exchange server at work, you almost certainly won't have
it.

How do I set up (1) Outlook and (2) Outlook Express e-mail to automatically reply to incoming mail to notify sender that I'm away from office for a week and will not be checking my e-mail? I've received messages like this, but don't know how to set up my terminal to do it. My computer uises Outlook, and another in the office uses Outlook Express, and we both want to do it.
