I think that’s on the person who covered for you –presumably they are in your department. If I take care of a client for Fergus while he’s out, I let him know the problem that came in, solution, and any still pending information. Emailer emails Vickie.

I get back, see the message, and may not realize Vickie has already handled it. That’s not Vickie’s fault.

Right?! If it’s a 3 day retreat, that’s one thing. But not being around for an hour or two shouldn’t be any kind of BIG DEAL.
The ability to schedule your OOO replies was literally the best feature ever to come to Outlook, and it took way too long.
