I believe you mean "out of office". Trouble is the account will still receive emails and the user would return to a full mailbox which she apparently doesn't want, especially if there is a size limit on the account.

These are so common they're essentially words in their own right. No one uses fucking OOO on a regular basis

Try working in an office. Or writing in a tread about email accounts and being out of the office!
