Out of Office emails still sending after turning off

One of our users has turned off his Out of Office message, yet people are still receiving them after emailing him. Below are the steps I went through so far to get this fixed:

  • Exit the app, relaunched it, enabled Out of Office, disabled it, exit, and relaunch
  • Cleared the calendar's cache by following these steps
  • Checked if the Out of Office message was still enabled in OWA
I can't think of what else we should do to fix this. Any ideas?

Out of Office message

As I'm going to be away for 3 weeks, I like to inform all my contacts that I'll not be around to answer their queries till such time. How do I set up a message in my Inbox informing them of my absence?

The answer meant to be helpful but did not understand the instruction which was & I quote 'go to gear on the right>more mail settings>manage your account>vacation reply'.  I cant find it to get the link for doing what the instruction suggested?

Even if I've set a start and end time for an Out Of Office message to be sent, every time I start up Outlook while I'm on vacation, the silly "Out of Office messages are still on.  Do you want to turn them off?" dialog.  If I have Outlook open for some long amount of time (hours, not days), the dialog again pops up.  The problem is, many automated tasks (my spam filter, updating the items badge in the dock, &c.) do not work while the popup dialog is present.

Is there a way to disable this popup dialog "feature"?  I don't want the Out Of Office message off... that's why I set a start and end time!!
