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.

    I tried this and it seemed to work. For outlook on the web , please click Setting> View all outlook settings>calenadr>disable Delete invitation and responses that have been updated.

    These are the same steps for the windows desktop version as well. It unfortnualty does not sync across web and desktop though so make sure you apply this setting to both.

    Hope this helps.

    Did you get enough feedback to resolve this? I spent hours to disable this feature in outlook and outlook new has done it again!

    Microsoft, please stop removing features.

    Stop scaring us with new updates!

    A solution for in the new outlook:

    Create an email-rule in outlook that copies all emails that contain an invite or a mention of a meeting to a folder called 'Meeting Invitations' (or smt else).

    (I made a couple similar rules for redundancy, but I think this is the one that makes it work.)

    NB: it can take a while before it works, I thought this failed but then the next day everything was nicely sorted according to these rules.

    Try following the steps and this forum. The first reply gives two options I think the second option is what you're looking for.

    Jerzyoch ,

    Hi, This option is available in current Office 365 Outlook.

    there is not available in new Outlook Microsoft is pushing to all existing outlook clients.

    I switched to new Outlook, but due to unavailability of this feature, i switched back to old Outlook client on my laptop.
