Email - auto respond when away..

[WA]

Does anyone know how to set my email to automatically respond to people when I'm away, basically telling them that I am away and will get back to them when I return?

I've tried the support section of microsoft.com, but can't seem to find anything there about it.

Thanks!

You can do that in Outlook, but I can't find it in Outlook Express.
In Outlook, click on tools, options, out of Office Wizard and it explains it to you.
I use it at Work and it's quite good.

Cheers, the Munster.

Thanks Munster, I'm afraid I still can't get it to work (in express), but thanks for your suggestion anyway.

i dont think that you can do it using outlook express
as munster said,you can do it in outlook,id say the reason for this is because it would be used on more business computers where youll most likely have your computer on more even when your away from it...whereas in the case of outlook express it would mostly be used on home computers where people generally will turn it off when not in use

call your ISP and see if they can enable it at the server (some ISPs have this feature). obviously otherwise it won't work - it just sits on your mail server until you get home to download it.
