In Outlook it's under Tools > Out Of Office Assistant

 

You mean Microsoft Outlook? Not Outlook Express? I can't find it.

Microsoft Outlook is the one I use. Can't find "Out of the Office Assistant" under "tools ".

Do you use Microsoft Exchange?

If not I will check my setup at home and see what I can find there. It may only be available for use with Microsoft Exchange.

 

I don't know what microsoft exchange is. So I guess I don't use it.

Found out how to do it. You can't do it in Outlook. You have to go to your server. In my case it was the mail provider of my internet service. They had a way to set my vacation message.

Thanks

Glad you found a solution. I did some checking and the Out of Office Assitant is only available if you use Microsoft Exchange as your email provider.
