Out of Office Assistant

[Eric]

How do I turn on the Out of Office Assistant when it is not listed in the
Tools drop down?

Hi Eric,
Note that the Out of Office Assistant is only available if you have the
Microsoft Exchange Server service in your profile.

Hi,

The Out of Office Assistant feature in Microsoft Outlook is a Microsoft Exchange Server service. It is available only when the Exchange Server transport service is included in an Outlook
user's profile. You can emulate this feature by creating an e-mail template and defining a rule in the Rules Wizard to automatically reply with the template.

Please refer to the following Knowledge Base article for steps on how to emulate the Out of Office Assistant.
