What does “OOO” usually mean when foreigners send emails?

OOO is not “oh oh oh”; foreigners often write “OOO” in emails, it’s not “oh oh oh”! What does it mean exactly? In emails, people often set up auto-replies to indicate that they are on vacation or to state when they will return to work. At this time, you might come across an email in English like this: ① I am OOO on annual leave and will return on 29th May. I am currently on annual leave and not at the office; I will return to work on May 29th. So, OOO means out of office, indicating that the person is not in the office. Of course, OOO also depends on the context; sometimes it means out of order, indicating a malfunction or improper behavior. For example: ② The printer is out of order. (not working) The printer is malfunctioning.
