How do I set up an auto-responder letting people know that I am on vacation?

1) Click on "Tools" on the toolbar and choose "Rules."

2) Click on the "New..." button.

3) Type in a rule name (ex. "Vacation").

4) Click on the "Mail" box underneath "Item types:".

5) Click on the "Add Action" button.

6) Choose "Reply..." from the drop-down menu and then click on "OK."

7) Enter a subject in the Subject box (ex. "* * * Out Of Office * * *")

8) Enter a message in the Message box (be sure to mention that this is an automatically-generated e-mail).

9) When you are ready for the rule to take effect (i.e. right before you leave for your vacation), click on the check box next to the rule name and then click on "Close." This will activate the auto-responder.
