Working with Outlook

If you plan to be out of the office for a day or longer, you can use the Out of Office Assistant to automatically generate replies to any email you receive while you are gone.
From the Inbox menu, select “Tools”, “Out of Office Assistant”. Complete the dialog box and click “OK” when you are done. This is shown on the next screen.
MS Outlook will automatically send the response you indicate for as long as "I am currently out of the office” is selected.
When you return to the office, follow the above steps and click "I am currently in the Office" to deactivate the Out Of Office Assistant.
