Outlook Calendar in MS Office Professional Plus 2016 (version 1803). Hello, this problem has just started (Friday 20/4) ... If I click and drag an appointment (diary entry) to move it on iPhone in iOS Mail app, it turns the appointment into a meeting and wants to send attendees an email. I'm the only attendee as I created what is basically a diary entry (appointment). So I get notifications that a 'meeting' has changed AND I get an email. It's crazy. It's all ok when I use the Office Outlook app on PC so it could be an issue with iOS??? It syncs all the appointments back to Outlook as meetings so I have to clear notifications and emails on PC and iPhone. Please help me to fix this as it's very annoying. Thank you very much....

    There is one more thing. I have a gmail account as Apple account that does not match with my Windows account (hotmail). Maybe this has something to do with this bug because if I create an event in Outlook 365 desktop starting from my gmail account everything works flawlessly.  I mean that the event created starting from my gmail account in Outlook 365 desktop does not turn into a meeting when edited with my iphone. I haven't tried changing my Apple account to match my Windows account (hotmail) to see whether this is sorted though.

    Yes, it also happens to me. Still when I close the Windows embedded Calendar and open it again later on, the event returns to "normal".

    That's weird - I'll check that..... Thanks.

    I'm not sure if this is connected to our problem on this thread but...

    When using the embedded Windows 10 Calendar app, does anyone get this problem:

    Sometimes when you click and drag (move) an event, the lettering of the event goes a very light shade of grey. It doesn't seem to affect anything, it's just really annoying as it goes feint for no apparent reason. Doesn't seem to occur when I actually edit the event. Can't see why this is happening and can't find a thread that covers this?

    Starting here in case it's linked to Outlook..... Thanks.

    The Outlook.com team is working on the fix.  Initially they thought they could roll back the change that caused the issue but it was more complicated than expected.  Instead they are working on a good fix and will roll that out as soon as it is ready.  I'll post back when I have more information.
