I started working with Outlook emails long ago. And I had many good or not utilities for working with emails. But one day I had similar problem, and I was born under a lucky star – I discovered an one tool, which determined my issue, probably it will relieve you also – ost to pst converter.

No, and you wouldn’t want to. If they send a message to you and your out-of-office autoresponds and maybe they have an autoresponder too then their autoresponder will respond to your autoresponse. Then your out-of-office will send again and their autoresponder will autorespond again and your out-of-office will….and pretty soon your mailbox (and theirs) is filling up with autoresponses and both servers are bogged down under this silly game of e-mail tennis. That’s called a mail loop and it’s bad. If you really insist upon having an autoresponder that replies every time use the Rules Wizard instead of Out-of-Office but I strongly advise against it.
