One of the statuses available for an Appointment/Meeting in Outlook 2011 for mac is "Out of Office" (which appears to map to "Away" in the Outlook Web App, when viewing Calendar entries).

This status, surprisingly, does NOT prevent someone from scheduling a meeting with me in the same time slot.   If I use the "Busy" status, however, the time slot is unavailable for meetings.

This doesn't make sense to me - what am I missing?  (I tried to find definitions for the statuses in the application Help, and in the on-line support, with no real success.

Has anyone else encourntered this?
