     Go to The DATES tab. Select the date you are leaving and the date you are returning. Be sure you select the right day when you choose using the calendar. This can be tricky only in that the Lotus notes calendar that appears always shows Sunday as the last day of the week instead of the first day. Check it out, you'll see what I mean. I've mistakenly entered a Tuesday instead of Monday a lot of times.

     The next tab is EXCEPTIONS. Here's where you get to decide who does NOT get your out of office message. There is also a section (which I admit I've never used) that will prevent an away message from being sent based on a particular phrase that may appear in the message.

     Then click button ENABLE button, then the OK button on the next window that pops up on your computer screen. Now every time you receive an email to your Lotus notes, Lotus will send an email message back to the sender alerting them that your are away from the office.
