| 525300 | 2007-02-17 01:09:00 | I use Outlook for my e-mailing; this is a part of Office XP (2003). Something appears to have gone awry with the "Out of Office" part of the Tools. I went overseas for the Christmas/New Year period and left an out-of-office autoreply advising those who sent me messages when I would be back. This worked fine. Now I'm back home, the "out-of-office" command in the Tools menu cannot be found and I can't cancel the auto-reply which is confusing people. I've looked into Customise and Options, in the Tools menu, but have found nothing to restore the "out-of-office" command. Likewise I've looked at the on-board help and this tells me that the command is in the Tools menu, but of course it has disappeared. Any ideas please before I try to reload Outlook? |

| 525302 | 2007-02-17 21:33:00 | Godfather, Thanks, I've now read Microsoft's article 290846. I'm not sure what "my profile" means. Where can I find this and update it? I certainly had "out-of-office" assistant previously but something has changed and now it's gone. James |

| 525303 | 2007-02-17 21:39:00 | And if u looked under help in Outlook, it wld have given u the answer . Some of the content in this topic may not be applicable to some languages . This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account . In Mail, on the Tools menu, click Out of Office Assistant . I don't see the Out of Office Assistant command The Out of Office Assistant command does not appear unless you are using an Exchange Server e-mail account and you are in the Mail view . Click Add Rule . Under When a message arrives that meets the following conditions, specify the conditions of the rule that the message must meet for the action to occur . To specify more conditions, click Advanced, select the options you want, and then click OK . To specify that this rule must be the last one applied, select the Do not process subsequent rules check box . Under Perform these actions, select the options you want . You can select more than one option . Note If you specify that a message must be deleted, rules that follow the delete rule in the list of rules in the Out of Office Assistant dialog box do not affect the message .
