Using older versions of Outlook for Mac for personal email and calendar
I have a similar issue, as an event owner. I modified several events by changing the invitation list (removing someone who did not reply, and adding two new people). O365 sent meeting cancellations to some (but not all) of the people who orginally replied "Yes," as well as the people who declined. The people who had not replied received modified events.
Is the safest way to make sure the modified event gets on everyone's calendar to delete it entirely and create a new event?
