Question

Answer 1

Using outlook express on a home computer, you can't. This feature is only available if you are running a Microsoft IIS server. If your company hosts their own email using IIS, then this feature would be available to you if your sys admin activated this feature.

Answer 2

Automatically reply to incoming messages while out of the office

This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account. Most personal e-mail accounts through an Internet service provider (ISP) (ISP: A business that provides access to the Internet for such things as electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web. Some ISPs are multinational, offering access in many locations, while others are limited to a specific region.) are POP3 accounts and do not support this feature.

In Mail, on the Tools menu, click Out of Office Assistant.
I don't see the Out of Office Assistant command

The Out of Office Assistant command does not appear unless you are using an Exchange Server e-mail account and you are in the Mail view.
Click I am currently Out of the Office.
In the AutoReply only once to each sender with the following text box, type the message that you want to send to others while you are out.
If you want, create rules (rule: One or more automatic actions taken on e-mail messages and meeting requests that meet certain conditions, along with any exceptions to those conditions. Rules are also referred to as filters.) to manage your incoming mail.
