Traduzione e definizione
sometime: prima o poi, un giorno o l'altro
You should come over sometime, how about next week? Dovresti venire da me qualche volta, che ne dici della prossima settimana?
I'll be there sometime after 4 pm when I leave work. Ci sarò in un momento dopo le 16 quando uscirò dal lavoro.
Attenzione a non confonderlo con sometimes (di tanto in tanto, ogni tanto).

Which word or phrase could replace the "sometime" in the question: "Would you mind if my accountant gave you a call sometime"?
Which word or phrase could replace the "sometime" in the question: "Would you mind if my accountant gave you a call sometime"?
"One day" could replace the term "sometime" in this text without changing the meaning of the question. The term "sometime" means "at some point (in the future), and is used to refer to an undefined point or moment in time. It shouldn't be confused with "sometimes", which means 'from time to time".
"Never" means "at no time".
"From time to time" is a synonym for "sometimes" and not "sometime".

1 currently: "Currently" means "at present" or "right now". It is the best choice in this sentence and a term often found in automatic reply messages.
1 actually: This is not the best choice. "Actually" means "in reality" or "in fact". The term doesn't indicate the present time.
1 soon: Using "soon" in this sentence is grammatically incorrect. The future tense would be more appropriate for using soon ("I will be away soon"), but even this sentence is not likely to be used in a professional automatic reply email.
2 limited: "Limited" is the best choice here to describe "infrequent" or "occasional" consulting of emails. This term is often used in automatic reply messages.
2 sometime: "Sometime access to emails" is a very unnatural phrase which shouldn't be used in this context, or any other. We might say, "I will be checking my email sometimes", however this sentence doesn't express the same idea of having limited access.
2 rare: Although the term "rare" indicates something "infrequent", or "occasional", the term shouldn't be used in this context. "Rare" is generally used to describe something such as a painting or animal which is hard to find!
3 returning: "Returning" is the best choice for this sentence. This term is often used in automatic reply messages.
3 making my comeback: This sentence should never be used in an automatic reply message. The expression "a comeback" is generally reserved for people or objects that are making a resurgence, or regaining popularity after a period of unpopularity or failure. For example: "Vinyl records made a comeback in the late 90's" or "Mickey Rourke made a comeback after years of obscurity".
3 going back: "Going back" shouldn't be used in this sentence. "To go" expresses sense of traveling somewhere for the first time, and "going back" is an awkward expression to use in this type of professional email.
4 on: "On" is the correct preposition to use here. When speaking about specific dates, we use the preposition "on" to precede the date. Example: On March 14th, on the third of May.
4 in: "In" shouldn't precede precise dates such as this one. "In" can precede larger periods. Example: In May, In 2007, In two weeks.
4 at: "At" shouldn't precede precise dates such as this one. "At" can be used in prepositional phrases to describe more vague periods: At the end of the week, At the start of the month.
5 reached: "Reached" is the best choice here. "To reach" has a few meanings, but here the term refers to "contacting by telephone". "You can reach me..." is a common phrase found in this type of message.
5 joined: The term "joined" is not used to describe "reaching" or "contacting" someone by telephone or email. The term is generally used to describe physically meeting with someone. For example: Please join us at the restaurant at 7:00. "Join" can also be figuratively when inviting someone to watch or listen to a program: "Please join us tomorrow on the Rich Morning Show!"
5 touched: The verb "touched" is not used to describe contacting someone by telephone or email. The term is used literally to describe physical contact, or figuratively to describe a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction: I was touched by his wonderful letter.
6 please: "Please" is the best choice here in order to form a polite request.
6 thanks to: "Thanks to" cannot be used in this sentence. We use this expression to indicate a cause or reason: "Thanks to your help, we signed the contract".
