In addition to Replies in new windows automatically saving a blank draft, I am also getting automatic saves when drafting a new appointment in the calendar. Right click > New Appointment After a few seconds a notification comes up saying I have a overdue appointment, and it is blank. Then there is a blank entry saved on my calendar before I even start typing the entry. Can anyone else with this Reply/Forward issue (draft creation/properties changing notification) confirm this happening? Yes, we're getting the same issues. We now have 4 tickets open for issues with Outlook 365 Pro Plus: Properties have changed save dialog on replies/forwards Meetings immediately saving when clicking New Meeting/Appointment, causes blank meetings. Failed to upload attachments error: Failed to upload attachments to server (error 0x80070057). Unknown Error when trying forward some meetings All of these issues have come up very recently within the last few weeks.

Based on page posts through page 9, it's a wide spread issue that MS needs to patch. Have they acknowledged the issue in your support request and perhaps have a fix in the works?

Yes, we're getting the same issues. We now have 4 tickets open for issues with Outlook 365 Pro Plus:
1. Properties have changed save dialog on replies/forwards
2. Meetings immediately saving when clicking New Meeting/Appointment, causes blank meetings.
3. Failed to upload attachments error: Failed to upload attachments to server (error 0x80070057).
4. Unknown Error when trying forward some meetings
All of these issues have come up very recently within the last few weeks.
