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....

    MG,

    I shared your issue with my peer that covers Outlook.com and he posted back on your main thread.  Please follow up with him on that thread to keep working on the issue.

    Excellent info, Gabriel. Any way we can find out when our particular servers will receive or have received the fix?

    I use an Outlook.com account to save Appointments.  The glitch that caused Outlook.com Appointments to turn into Meetings has been fixed for Version 15.20.906.0 of Outlook Desktop App. Version 15.20.906.0 was included with the Office 365 subscription that I purchased for my laptop. Now that glitch has been fixed, Appointments do not convert into Meetings when I can create, change, or view Appointments using Outlook Desktop App, Outlook for iOS, or Apple's Calendar App. Many thanks to Microsoft's Outlook Team for fixing the glitch. For tips on using Outlook for calendaring, see below for link to excerpt from Microsoft Press book on Outlook 2016 Step by Step:

    Rick,

    The Outlook.com Team said that the fix should be out to all the servers by the first week of July.  If you need to check if your server is updated yet please see my post above from June 18th.  You can use the Outlook Connection Status dialog to check if the server is on the fixed version yet.

    Thanks GB, I have used your guidance from June 18th to check my version (it's now 15.20.906.0), just wasn't sure if that one was fixed or not.
