outlook: "out of office is currently on" alert not displaying

[Rachel]

In Outlook, how can I turn on/off the "out of office is
currently on" alertbox? It used to display on startup, but
now it does not (even though the out of office autoreply
is working fine); I would like it to display again.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Can you access the mailbox using OWA and turn it on and then see if it
displays in Outlook? Does running Detect and Repair work?

If not, then post your version of Outlook and Exchange.

Hi Milly,
Thanks for your reply.
Although neither suggestion worked, I did find a solution.
I had my laptop turned on at home (in sleep/hibernate
mode) with Outlook open; I had the problem when I accessed
my account at another facility. The problem disappears
(ie, the notification displays) as long as Outlook
accesses the account at only one terminal at a time (not
several simultaneously).
So I closed Outlook and it worked fine.

Thanks again.
