Out of the office - Not in Tools Menu

We have Domino 8.01 server with multiple version of clients 8.01 and 7.x. With users whose mail database are 8.01 but client are 7.x won’t be able to access the “Out of the office” agent menu because it cannot be accessed from the “More” button or any where in the client 7.x. I have read one of the technote on this website and it did say that I have to have mail client 8.01 as well in order for the “Out of the office” to be available. I know I can always upgrade the client to 8.01 to solve this problem, but I just wonder if anyone finds a workaround to this problem. Your comment will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Subject: downgrade the mail template

Simply set their mail template back to R7 until their client is upgraded. I can’t remember what they are, but I’m thinking there are other features and preferences that won’t work for them either, so there is really no point in their mailfile being R8 if their client is not.

Subject: Thanks for the response

Subject: This is corrected version 8.5

Apparently it was an error in Notes 8, but corrected notes 8.5
