Activate the "out of office assistant" for a Group or Shared Mailb

[Chris in DC]

Our organization has specific Outlook e-mail accouts for individual employees
but we also have group or shared e-mail mailboxs that we use to send out on
behalf of different groups. Does Outlook 2003 allow you to set, using the Out
of office assistant tool, an "out of office" message for specific group
mailboxs? Everything I have tried keeps referring me back to my personal
outlook e-mail mailbox.

How are you accessing the shared mailbox? Additional Profile? Additional mailbox in your profile? What happens if you log onto the group mailbox itself and set the OOF?

We access while logged into our personal mailbox. We have it set up whereas
the folks managing the shared mailbox it appears in their personal Outlook
folders along with their personal e-mail mailbox. For some of the less active
shared mailbox, we are going to "File" then "Open Other User's Folder". I
guess that is my question. Can we set up if we are still logged into our
personal mailbox or do we have to log out and log back in as the group or
shared mailbox to make these type of changes.

Thank you in advance for your help!!

Then you have the mailbox added as a secondary mailbox to your primary profile. You would need to open the mailbox under that mailbox's profile to activate the Out of Office notification.
