As a member in any corporation, eve based or out of pod based, sometimes the need arises for you to take some leave from business.

My suggestion is small and I think, rather simple: Add the ability to enable ingame "away" message.

Problem:
Lets say some of you are going away over Christmas, you send a corporation mail about it, and it gets lost in the pile.
So a member sends you a mail, needing information. He/she then awaits your response, that the they never get.

Solution:
I think they should be able to get a response in an instant reply in their eve-client saying

"Username is currently away for the following reason: The reason the user has stated. And is expected back on Date

Setting this information in your mail should probably be in a simple GUI under the eve-mail settings ingame.

Signed.

In your example said player even writes a corpmail, but there are quite a lot of players who don't do even that and just tell it once in TS. And what about if someone runs a cargo running service for a nullsec alliance and not just a single corp?

I like the idea.

I would like to maybe see this concept built on in the regard of having status messaage like on MSN if you are AFK or Busy..etc..

This could only be seen by Corp/Allaince and people you are blue too.

Having a busy RL I have to be afk quite a bit.
