Sorry, but you are mistaken.
'Out of Office' is handled (and very well) at the Exchange Server
level. It is true that Entourage has no 'built in' Out of Office
function for POP or IMAP accounts, and you have to use mail rules as
you describe. However, both Outlook and Entourage can access the OOF†
server settings. The Exchange support in Mail cannot - this is what I
was commenting on.

† Ever wondered why an 'Out Of Office' function is called an OOF?
Well, 'OOF' was a command used in the days of Microsoft’s Xenix mail
system, which set a user as ‘Out of Facility’ - ie Out of the Office.
The usage of the term ‘OOF’ just stuck, even when the terminology
changed to 'Out of Office'.

A third missing feature - no access to the 'Out of Office' functions.
You have to drop into OWA to adjust those.
