1426581 2016-09-28 08:39:00 Hi guys, I am going away on holiday and have setup a rule to send an out of office reply to certain emails I get while away and it works fine until I turn the computer off. I'm not keen on leaving the computer running the whole time I am away, no one will be home and who knows what could happen if no one's keeping a bit of an eye on it. I have used rules before to create an out of office and in the past and it worked great but I must have left the computer on unless I did something different. Any ideas how I can get this to work while my computer is shut down, any suggestions in layman terms please. DakotaNZ (17161)

Where is your mail hosted?
If you don't want to leave your computer on to deal with replying to the mails, then you will need the mail server to do ir, typically by logging in to the webmail interface and finding and setting the autoreply rules (assuming this is offered by your mail provider).
