The Out of Office Assistant menu command is not on the Tools menu

[Guest]

I used the Optlook help feature whcih provided the following that did not hve
the selection for exchange extension commands available for me to choose:

The Out of Office Assistant menu command is not availble on the Tools menu

"This is an Exchange add-in feature that may have been disabled. You need to
enable the menu command.

On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Other tab, and then click Advanced Options.
Click Add-In Manager. Select the option Exchange Extensions commands"

You must be using a MS Exchange Server to have the Out of Office assistant
available. If you do not have one, use Rules instead. If you do have an
office exchange server, check with your administrator.

Thanks Mary!!

I am no longer on an exchange server, though may be able to get the files.
But, "Rules" should work fine as long as I am carefull on the set-up.

Aloha,
Jeff

The Out of Office Assistant feature in Microsoft Outlook is a Microsoft Exchange
Server service. If you're not using this service, see this article for a
workaround:

Keep in mind:
1) You must have your system up and running 24/7
2) You must configure Outlook to check mail automatically.
3) Spammers love this feature...
