...Say what?

So i manage the company's BlackBerry server. Most people take this to mean that i also know every minuscule detail about the handhelds, too, and make demands that i show them how to do generally reasonable tasks (ie, empty Deleted Items on the server from the BB so that their mailbox doesn't overflow while they're on a trip). No problem, i enjoy teaching people how to do things, and some of it you'd really have to sit down for a couple hours to figure it out.

My only question in is this: Why, given the nature of wireless, handheld devices, why would you need to put an Out-of-Office message on it?

Entirely possible, but given the personality of said exec, not likely. But then, you didn't know that bit.

Still, the idea of setting up a "I'm not in my office" message on one's BB makes me think that if one is going to do this, they quite possibly don't need the BB to begin with...ours are typically reserved for critical personnel.
