Does Outlook Express 6 have an "Out of Office" function, and if so, how do I activate it?

The only way you can do this in OE is to set up a rule However, you'd need to leave OE running on your PC while you were away.
It would be better to set this up with your Mail Service Provider if they have such a facility. Then the emails wouldn't need to reach your PC before the auto responder was sent.0 -
The traditional view, if you get a lot of spam, is that an Out of Office message is a Bad Idea, because it will inform the spammer that your address is valid and live, and can thus be sold on to other spammers, so that you will get even more spam...
I don't know if this still applies.
