Set an out-of-office message in Lotus Notes

How do I make the out-of-office option visible in Lotus Notes?

It was usually available under the Tools drop down but now only Preferences is visible under this drop-down.

I am using Lotus Notes 8.5.


To enable out-of-office notification

  1. Open your mail (if it's not already open).
  2. Above the message list, click More → Out of Office...
