Helo,

Is it "will not have the access to email" or is it "will not have access to the email"

Im leaning towards the second option but would love a native answer, im setting up a out of office reply

Thank you for your help :)

"will not have access to email" ("the" is not correct in both cases)

or possibly

"will not have access to my email"

Maybe a stupid question but does e-mail make any difference?

If you mean "email" versus "e-mail", no, it makes no difference at all (to your original question).

I will be away from office until x and will not have access to e-mail. I will be glad to read your mail after that date. Please contact x, telephone no. x, e-mail x for any urgent matters. Thank you for your understanding.

Thoughts? Thanks for helping me look professional :)

I used email not e-mail because it's my personal preference, but nothing really wrong with e-mail
