Re: Notifiying Away on Holiday Emails

It's not the length of time to set it up, or lack of it. It's the security and privacey aspect. You wouldn't post a note through all your neigbourboods letterboxes letting them know you are away, even if you did know them all, would you? Why do the same by email? Much better to contact your trusted friends by phone and inform them of the fact.

options to set it up.

To create a rule for e-mail messages to automatically with a return
TEXT message.  Test by sending an email to: LsuEdu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

1.. On the Tools menu, point to Message Rules, and then click
Mail. Message rules cannot be created for IMAP or HTTP e-mail
accounts. 2.. If this is the first rule you are creating, proceed to step 3.
Otherwise, on the Mail Rules tab, click New and proceed to step 4.
3.. Select the conditions for your rule by selecting the desired
check boxes in the Conditions section. (You must select at least one
condition.)
You can specify multiple conditions for a single rule by
selecting more than one check box. Click the and hyperlink in the
Rule Description section
to specify whether all of the rule conditions must be met before the
specified action occurs (and), or whether at least one must be met
(or). 4.. Specify the actions for your rule by selecting the desired
check boxes
in the Actions section. (You must select at least one condition.)
5.. Click the underlined hyperlinks in the Rule Description
section to specify the conditions or actions for your rule.
You can click contains people or contains specific words in the
Rule Description section to specify the people or words you'd like
Outlook Express to look for in messages. If you enter multiple
people or multiple words per condition, use the Options button in
the Select People or Type Specific Words dialog boxes to further
customize the condition. 6.. In the Name of the rule text box, select the default name or
type a new name for your rule, and then click OK.
Notes

  a.. You can create a new rule by selecting an existing one on the
Message
Rules tab and clicking Copy. This is helpful when the new rule you
want to
create is similar to an existing one.
  b.. You can create a rule from a message by selecting an e-mail
message in
the main window and then on the Message menu clicking Create Rule
from Message. This helps by automatically filling in the name of
the person on the From line; no other information from the message,
however, is entered into the rule.

How do i set up my email account to notify incoming emails that i'm
away
on
holiday or out of the office until such time? I've looked through
the options
but just can't find the set up information.

Thanks
