Running XP and XP PRO. Can't find the out of office assistant anywhere. Looked at this before and found various Tech BB threads on this but to no avail...The Outlook in question is set up to send/receive email from 3 different email addresses - is this why the office assistant isn't available, can it only work with a single email account?

Out of Office Assistant is only avaliable when connected to an Exchange Server IIRC.

Can't remember, it's the home PC and I'm at work. I've read a bit more on this and realised that we'll need to set up an autoreply on the ISP rather than the PC as it'll be switched off.....I'll get the hang of this damned IT stuff eventually..

There's a facility in Outlook Web Access (OWA) to set your OOO, if you can't be bothered troubleshooting the Outlook client.

You still need an Exchange server to use OOA though. Don't use also need to configure the correct mail support when installing Outlook or Tools -> Options -> Mail Services -> Mail Support.

Should be set to Corporate, but you need the Exchange service running to see the OOA. Use Outlook and just Internet mail and you won't get it.

Some ISP's use Exchange for their mail servers with Outlook Web Access for the webmail front end.
