Don't use CDO 1.21 in managed code, it's not supported.

Why use CDO for your code anyway, there's nothing special in there that
can't be done by using the Outlook object model, which is supported for
managed code.

How do you find out if "Out-Of_Office" flag is set? CDO's Session object has
properties OutOfOffice and OutOfOfficeText, but I could not find a way to
get this with Outlook objecy model.

That's not exposed directly in the Outlook object model.

To get out of office state in Outlook 2007 you'd use the default Store
object and the PropertyAccessor to look at PR_OOF_STATE (0x661D000B or
http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x661D000B in DASL).

In earlier versions of Outlook you'd have to use CDO or Redemption or
Extended MAPI, but again CDO and Extended MAPI aren't supported in managed
code.

Out of office text is stored in a hidden message in the Inbox with a
MessageClass of "IPM.Note.Rules.OofTemplate.Microsoft". The text is in the
body property of that hidden message.
