Disable auto-delete of accepted meeting invites in the *new" Outlook?

The existing Outlook app for Windows has a setting to prevent calendar invites from being automatically sent to Deleted Items* when you accept them. Is this setting available in New Outlook?

Microsoft just announced that starting in 2024, the new Outlook will be the "official" one. I'm really concerned that features like this may be ignored when trying to reach feature parity. So, Is there an official feature request page for this? They exist for other Microsoft products I use, but I didn't find one dedicated to the New Outlook.

Thanks for your help with these topics!

*Deleted Items is the wrong choice even if I wanted this! Archive would be the smarter location for a modern email didn't. (But the best thing would be too simply not do actions the user didn't request!) Thanks again.

    Sorry, the screen shot I shared was for the NEW Outlook in response to the person that was looking for a solution for the NEW Outlook.

    For the current Outlook, it's File > Options > Mail, then scroll down to "Send messages", and uncheck "Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding"

    I follow the directions exactly but my outlook stops mirroring Ehret Michael's after View > View settings > Calendar > Events and invitations.

    Under Invitations from other people my only two options are "Delete invitations that have been updated by the organizer" and "Delete notifications about forwarded events".

    Neither of which address the original concern of just not deleting invitations at all after responding.

    WOW! Today is the day, for me!!! I've discovered that I finally have this option inside the New Outlook client!!!

    *** NOTE: SEE Ehret Michael's note below - this was his discovery, herein:

    Now, there is a checkbox in the settings which allows disabling the deleting of invite messages.

    Navigate to View > View settings > Calendar > Events and invitations and unselect "Delete invitations from inbox after responding" in section "Invitations from other people".

    The outlook.com outlook on the web has no such options, for reference I attached a screenshot of such. there was once options for this and it is a huge failure to remove options that many used, but what should we expect from micro trash then to keep screwing with things that are not broken.

    perhaps they will get around to fixing this someday???

    I may add that even in the link that was posted that article clearly refers to this option no longer existing in the outlook on the web, and the original instruction were for the older version that once had that option.

    Again, this option is NOT for the *new* Outlook.
