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 hoped it would be, however, Outlook only shows Unable to load these settings. Please try again later. Pretty sure its been that way for a while as I remember it had the same message when I first noticed the problem. Glad it works for those who can access the menu.

    Okay, I found the setting for the NEW OUTLOOK:

    1. Click the Calendar Icon on the left side to view your calendar.
    2. Click 'View' at the top to open the view ribbon.
    3. Click 'Calendar Settings' from the ribbon.
    4. Click 'Events And Invitations'.
    5. Scroll down to the section 'Invitations From Other People', and uncheck the relevant box(es) to prevent invites from being automatically deleted.

    I hope this helps!

    When I click on Events and invitations, there are no settings, just this message:

    Unable to load these settings, Please try again later.

    Took me a minute to find it but this is in the new outlook settings.

    At the top window bar, click the Settings Gear Icon.

    Select Calendar.

    Select Events and invitations.

    Scroll down to Invitations from other people.

    Unselect any of the Delete invitation options.

    And Save.

    Worked for me.
