I want to set the Out Of Office reply thingy as i'm off on hols but can't find it anywhere?
It's not in 'Tools' where a few of my mates who work in offices tell me it should be. They are using Outlook though whereas i'm on Outlook Express?
Any help would be appreciated but please remember to treat me like a special needs chap as when it come to computers Joey Deacon could run rings around me....... (anybody under 30 will be confused by that reference!!)
Ta.
Outlook runs these things at server level anything just running on your PC won't be able to
There may be other solutions though
As Uplink says, the Out of Office reply is a Server function. Outlook (in an office) connected to a MS Exchange server just tells the server what to say if it receives mail for you.
With Outlook Express, this functionality just isn't there. There is no capability in the link between you (Outlook Express) and your mail server (your ISP) to make this happen.
Can you log into your mail via the web, i.e. in a Web cafe etc? If your ISP hosts a webmail page, then there may be a setting on there to do this.
As ever "It all depends..."
Are you leaving the computer on? http://email.about.com/od/outlookexpresstips/qt/et102806.htm
Otherwise like Dave says, might be down to your email provider
No worries, thanks guys.
If i don't have it then it's not the end of the world, very few of my clients use email anyway so it's mostly sales bumpf from companies.
At least i've managed to set up my answerphone to allow remote access so that should cover most eventualities.
Cheers.
