out of office

Hello! Friends

Can anyone tell me how to program an "out-of-office" reply
in OutLook Express? (to tell someone who sent me a mail
that I am not in the office).

I tried the Mail Rule method, it doesnt work, for the rule
will generate a reply only when I have downloaded the mail.

That is correct behaviour; OE can only process the rule after it downloaded
it. Leave your OE open and schedule an automatic send/receive interval.

Note that this is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Here is the link for the right forum

Good Luck!

Sorry, that's the only way in OE.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
