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.

    It occurs to me now that, maybe the version update was what prompted that too, because I was asked the other day if I wanted to, when I loaded Teams after a reboot. To be fair, I do also have Teams Premium, which could be the reason I have a different version as well. Sorry, I didn't think that all through before I spoke; it could also be as simple as a tiered rollout; I've not had time yet to research the release strategy.

    Sounds good. What exactly did you do to "swap to the new calendar experience"?

    I have no clue if this is relevant, but I did swap to the new calendar experience inside of the new Outlook app; I wonder if that forces a version update to accomodate, which might contain the functionality? (I mention it because I made that change to the calendar experience 2 days ago, and then when I went and checked yesterday about this, I had the option suddenly...) Hoping this helps! :)

    It would be helpful if somebody could post instructions for how to change to a version of Outlook which does have this new feature.
