Can anyone tell me how to program the "Out of Office
Reply" to all emails that come in to my in box? I am not
able to find it anywhere in my Outlook 2000 application.
 
If you're not using Exchange Server, you won't have that option. You'll have
to use the Rules Wizard and leave Outlook running and connected to the
Internet.
