Automatically Reply to Messages With the Out of Office Assistant

Overview

The user can set up Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to send an automatic response to some or all of the people who send the user e-mail messages. The Out of Office Assistant command only appears on the Tools menu when the user is using a Microsoft Exchange Server account. If the user is using an Exchange Server account, click in the Inbox folder, and then the Out of Office Assistant command does not appear on the Tools menu, the paper encourages the user to contact a Microsoft support professional for assistance. An alternative method to automatically reply to messages is available for all Outlook users. Go to Automatically reply to messages.
