Hi,
Trying to set up an 'out of office' reply on my outlook 2003. I do not have the office assistant feature as I am not using an exchange server.
I have gone into the rules and alerts, created a new rule from a blank template...checked all the right boxes (when my name is in the to box, cc box, to or cc box, not in the to box, sent only to me...). I selected reply using a specific template, and I have created a template with my desired message, I have set no exceptions and I have turned the rule on.
Now, When testing it out, I have sent myself a few emails from various other email addresses to see if the auto reply is working...and its not. My outlook inbox receives the test emails I am sending...but it never sends back the out of office reply that I just finished setting up.
I have checked my send/receive settings...everything should be set correctly as it is set to auto send and receive... I am not getting any error messages or anything like that...it's just not sending back my reply...
Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm about to take off and would really love this to be in working order before my trip. Thanks very much
