Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
It's unbelievable that this is still an issue...
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.

2024-09-26T08:44:13+00:00 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.
Cheers,

Lets hope some enterprising developers comes up with programs that puts Microsoft out of business and maintains a culture that cares about its customers instead of the abusive one towards its customers that Microsoft has.

you solved the problem within one week after this post. Thank you very much!
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".
Kind Regards
Micha
