Cannot turn off Outlook out of office

If you cannot turn off outlook out of office in the following circumstances

- It is disabled on the client (you can double check on OWA)
- You have started outlook with the /cleanrules switch

The following has just worked for me (you could try without running /cleanrules if that will delete many rules)

- go to http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/ and download the app

- Close Outlook

- Session > Logon > (select mailbox)

- Select user mailbox from the options

- Look for ‘PR_OOF_STATE’ which should be (incorrectly) set to ‘True’

- (double-click the value and untick the ‘Boolean’ option)


- Close the MFCMAPI application; you can re-open to test, but it should write the change immediately
