Activate out-of-office notifications in Outlook Express

hello Harry,

Well here's a step by step process to set up the Out of Office Notification for your Outlook Office:

First of all create a reply message which you prefer either in a notepad or a wordpad, save it as a text document and then Go to Outlook and then in FILE go to Save as and select the text document. Now Go to your Outlook Express and in that Select Tools in that select Message rules and in that select Mail. In that first of all select the condition for your rule by checking the Where the to line contains people and where the CC lines contains people boxes. Now select the action of your rule by checking the reply with message box. now the next step is adding people to whom you want the automatic mail should reach. So in your address book type one or more recipient if you have and thats it you're done. Or here's one more thing you can do. Just follow this article step by step and see- Download Link. Hope it works.

Thanks!!
