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.

    Edit: that setting doesn't seem to fix the issue. Already disabled in my outlook and still my invitations are deleted.

    SOOOOOOOO insane that this has not been fixed. We are literally considering abandoning outlook because of this one issue. We can't forward meeting invites to team members....invites don't show up on the general office calendar. It is so stupid of them to set this as a default and then not be able to change the setting anywhere.

    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!

    Hi Product Development Team,

    Please don't make the auto-delete the default. Make auto-delete the option that users enable in their settings.

    Setting auto-delete from email after replying as a system-wide default makes using Outlook calendar invitations much less effective unless the person you're inviting is exclusively using Microsoft platforms. Most people--I'm thinking of Gen Z college students here--use a combo of platforms (gmail, outlook, Trello, etc), and are not using their Outlook calendar as their main and only scheduling platform. I love Outlook, but also want people to see (and remember) upcoming events.
