"Out of office assisant" not working after closing Outlook
I have turned on "Out of office assisant" and it works fine if I haven't closed my Outlook 2002 on my PC. But once I turn it off and shut down my PC. My colleagues will not longer receive "Out of office autoreply".
My question is: Do I have to keep my Outlook turned on (also keep my PC power on) in order to have OOO activated?
Please help.
Thanks!

You have to see outlook is open , you are connected to internet always .
but you can lock your machine instead of logging off or shutting down

The Out Of Office Assistant is a feature available with the Microsoft Exchange Server service. It is only available when the Microsoft Exchange Server information service is included in your profile, and you are connected to a functional Microsoft Exchange Server.

Unless this has changed for OutlookXP, and I don't believe it has.

Thanks for both of your help.
After further search on what Meintsi has said, I found that it is not necessary to leave the Outlook opened since the OOO is a server-based rule. Also, it is by default that the OOO message will only sent once and will not sent again to the same user. I have tested it and it's exactly what happened.

Mainly it will be used in case of exchange server
