Question

When a person sets up an out of office reply and we send an email to them, do they still receive our email?

Answer 1

Yes, it just alerts you that the person probably won't receive the e-mail immediately (usually the autoreply tells when the person is expected to return, etc.)

Answer 2

Yes, they receive the email immediately, just as any other email.

The only difference is that you automatically receive an out of office reply to warn you that they may not be checking their email regularly.
