    I have a question re - out of office reply in microsoft outlook

    basically i have gone to the tools menu but there is no out of office assistant menu - so i went into help and it told me to

    On the Tools menu, click Options.
    Click the Other tab, and then click Advanced Options.
    Click Add-In Manager. Select the option Exchange Extensions commands.


    to add the out of office assistant.

    Fine i did that but when i went in the Exchange Extenstions commands is already ticked - (i unticked it and ticked it again but nothing). There is an option to install but a list of files came up but im not sure if im supposed to install one and if i am which one?


    If anyone can help i appreciate it.

    thanks

    D,

    Are you using an Exchange Server e-mail account. The Out of Office Assistant does not appear unless you are.

    If you are, then it should have been enabled by default when you set up the account, on the Tools menu.

    Regards,

    Jim

    Are you using outlook in your job or at home?

    If it is at home, then you are more than likely not using an exchange server email account

    To check if you account is an exchange account go to Tools > Email Accounts> Click View or change existing account

    Your account type should be listed there.

    For out of office replies on a POP server, this option has to be available on the server. You won't be able to configure it in outlook. Some servers have a web config page that allow you to set the office reply. See if one is available to you. or ask your IT admin to set one up for you.
