14. SETTING UP OUT-OF-OFFICE MAIL MESSAGE

You can have Notes automatically reply to mail that you receive while you're out of the office. Notes
runs an agent on your home server that sends messages to the people who send you mail, telling
them you're out and when you're returning. If you delegate your mail to someone, they can't set up an
out-of-office message for you, so do that before delegating.
Note The out-of-office message is not an automatic broadcast; someone must send you a message
in order to see it.
While you are gone, Notes sends only one message to each person who sends you mail, no matter
how many messages the person sends you. On the return date you specify, Notes starts sending you
daily "Welcome Back" messages until you disable out-of-office mail. The "Welcome Back" message
includes, for your convenience, a list of the people Notes sent messages to while you were out.
14.1 To Enable Out-Of-Office Mail
1. Open your mail database and choose Actions - Tools - Out of Office.
2. On the Dates tab, specify the dates on which you are leaving and returning. The out-of-office
agent responds to incoming mail for all the days you specify, no matter how far in advance you
enable the agent.

What do you want to do? Procedure

invitations dates."

button to the right of the field.

you're part of names in the "Do not automatically reply to mail

phrases" field.
Cancel replies to people who send you Internet mail Click Exceptions and select "Do not automatically
reply to mail from Internet addresses."
4. Click Enable. If Notes asks which server to run the out-of-office agent on, choose your home
server and click OK. If Notes shows a message stating which server you have requested, click
OK. Notes runs the out-of-office agent on your home server until you disable it.

15. ARCHIVING MAIL MESSAGES TO FREE UP SPACE

An archive is a copy of a database you can create to store information no longer in use. Like a replica,
an archive contains all documents and design elements in the original database, but unlike a replica,
an archive never sends any changes back to the original database.
Archiving is particularly useful for mail databases. When you send a mail message, Notes
automatically saves a copy of it in the Sent view, causing your mail database to increase in size. You
can create folders and put messages in them to organize your mail, but this doesn’t decrease the size
of your mail database. Archiving frees up space and improves the performance of your mail.
