How do I set up an instant or automatic message so that
when I am away people will get a message something like "
I am away until Jan2 - I will answer at that time"
Thanks
 
If you are in an Exchange environment (ask your administrator if you do
notknow) you can set the Out of the Office Assistant which is located under
Tools.

If you are not in an Exchange environment you can create a rule that
replies on all e-mails. The downside of this is that you'll have to have
your Outlook open all the time for the rules to process. Make sure you set
some exceptions (for instance based on the subject field so it will not
reply on subject with e.g. reply, failed, undeliverable, etc...) otherwhise
you could create endless mailloops between two mailservers and those can be
a real threat to the mailservers!
