We have an out of office feature, there are a LOT of reasons why some companies choose not to implement this feature.
What is preferred is that you use the grant access to other user feature in the settings from email to give access to your inbox to a co-worker, they can respond to your email more personally than the computer and may even deal with it so you don't have to on your return.
Also, lots of people have blueberries and so even when out of the office can still reply to email.

Again you haven't answered this customers question.
lots of people equally don't have 'blueberries' and may not wish to or be able to check emails whilst perhaps on holiday, somewhere with limiting signals/internet access.
Its not always practical to have someone checking emails in inboxes. When on a lengthy period of leave most companies I'm sure will preinform clients, associates and staff to speak to the main office or a specific colleague who is looking after the workload in the absence of another, using an out of office message linked to email.
How do you access the officenet out of office feature? could you advise please as I'm not exactly sure where it is?

An out of office reply on the emails would be a helpful feature
