The Out of Office Assistant exists only when you are using an Exchange
account. Most home users don't use Exchange, but use POP/SMTP, IMAP/SMTP, or
the Outlook Connector and a Hotmail/Live account. You're better off seeing if
your mail service provides a vacation function you can configure by logging
into the mail service via its web interface. Otherwise, you can construct a
rule in Outlook to emulate the OOA and leave Outlook running while you're
gone. See this:
