the Inbox, or can Outlook help you there, as well, and notify people that
you’re out of town so that they won’t expect an immediate response?

Perhaps you’re a busy professional, and you have a nice assistant who not
only keeps track of where you need to be right now, but even stops drop-in
clients at the door so that you can get to that important appointment on
time. As nice as that may sound, the system tends to break down every now
and then, especially when you make an appointment and forget to tell your
assistant, or vice versa. Can Outlook help you keep your appointments in
one place, where both you and your assistant can access and make changes
to those appointments? The answer to all these questions is a resounding,
“Yes!” as you can see in this chapter.

Exchange 2010 now provides MailTips that stop people up short before they
send you e-mail while you’re out of town. You just have to let Outlook know.
Then, if someone from your company addresses an e-mail to you while
you’re gone, Outlook pops up a MailTip that displays the message you’ve
left behind so that they know when you get back. Of course, MailTips won’t
stop someone from sending that e-mail, anyway, but it should slow them
down a little.
