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. |
