Hi,

How do you turn off the out of office assistant in
outlook 98. Everywhere I look says to go to the tools
menu.

I have gone to the tools menu and there is NO OPTION for
the office assistant or for the rules wizard. I have also
looked at the commands available for the menus and there
is no options there either.

Can you do this from the server end with Exchange
Administrator?

Cheers,
Olivia
 
I haven't used OL 98 for a long time, but if you click on the Inbox to
highlight it, and then go to the tools menu, do you not see anything for Out
of Office? What services do you have in this mail profile, and is it the
same one you used when you turned it on in the first place?

No I've tried that already. The option isn't there at all.

The services running are the usual exchange and outlook
contacts.

The out of office reply is set to the same account but we
have no idea who turned it on or how. Noone else here
seems to know as this user has being on leave for over a
year.
 
Thanks very much for that, was very helpful! Is hard to
find the answer because everywhere just says to go to the
tools menu, a bit hard if it isn't there!
 
I had the same problem with losing the 'out of office' from the tools menu. I managed to search in outlook for help and followed these steps and recovered my out of office

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.

Good luck, Carolin
