How to configure an auto reply message in Outlook Express
Click Create Mail as if you were writing a new e-mail.
In the body of the e-mail, type the message you’d like to auto
reply with and when finished, go to the File menu and click
Save As.
Give your auto reply a file name and make sure you note where
it’s being saved.
Click Save and close the window.
Now you must create a rule that tells Outlook Express how and
when to use your auto reply message. Go to the Tools menu,
Message Rules, and click Mail. Click the New button.
In the first box, choose the option that says For all messages.
In the second box choose Reply with message. In the third box,
click on the link that says Message.
A new menu will appear where you can browse for the auto reply
file you just created. Find your file, select it and click Open.
In the fourth box, you’ll want to name your rule Auto Reply and
then click OK. Another box will popup confirming the creation of
your new rule; click Apply Now to confirm.
The next screen will deal with where you want to place your new
rule. Make sure the Inbox is selected and then click Apply Now,
and then Close. Finally click OK to close the window.
Disable your new rule when you don't need it anymore. |
