Following the thread above…IS it possible to set up an out-of-office reply if I don’t have an Exchange Server account? I’ll be gone for 2 weeks…

Yes very frustrating!! Also a POP account. Why does Outlook Home & business 2010 not have the auto reply??
Grrrr :/

It doesn´t work for POP accounts, Im trying but it´s not working. It´s frustrating as I´ll be off for 2 weeks and can´t put on the out of office message. Very bad product.

My account is a POP/SMPT, whatever that means. I followed the alternative suggested using a rule that returns a template to each email received and it didn’t work. Really disappointing since this is one of the two features that led me to buy Outlook rather than just use Microsoft Mail Live in the Windows 7 system.

File – Info – Account Settings
You will either have 1 of 4 type of accounts:
1: Internet Email
2: Microsoft Exchange
3: SMS
4: Other

1. “File” – got it.
2. “Info tab” – got it.
3. “Automatic replies” – DON’T GOT IT! I don’t even see this option. How do I know whether or not I’m on an Exchange server?

Worked for me — but you have to use the fixed beginning instructions that Chantal added on April 1 2010. Also – you must be on EXCHANGE for this to work!

This does not work, even with the added step. I keep getting a message which says that the server is not available but it clearly is. 2010 is a nightmare, hard to navigate, no good help online.

1. Choose “File
2. Choose “Info” (to the left)
3. Click automatic replies
4. put a message in out of office
