available. Help..!

Check to see if your ISP has one.

Remember that when you set it (at your ISP if they have it), all bounced
mail from spammers will indicate to them that your email address is
"good" and will likely attract more spam.

Only use out-of-office in public if you really really really really
really really really really need it.

There is no such thing as an OoOA in OE - never has been never will be. The
OoOA requires you to be running Outlook and be connected to an Exchange
server and the assistant *must* be 'activated' from the server side - it
will *NOT* run on a standalone system - and will *NOT* work on an Exchange
enabled system running OE.

The "Out of Office Assistant" is a feature of Outlook, not Outlook
Express. To achieve the same results using OE, you'll simply have to
manually create your own rule.

As you already read - OE doesnt have an out of office feature...

Outlook does, and actually, you DONT have to be on an exchange server - the
problem is, if you set ANYTHING like this up on your client, your computer
has to be turned on with some program running to enable the out of office
assistant - thats why you are better off getting something from your isp -
back at the server.

Lots of people do just that, then they go away, cant figure out why nothing
works. When they return, their mail comes in and THEN the oooa kicks in and
confuses the crap outta everyone.
