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.
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

I see multiple users are requesting Microsoft for this feature. Is there any update from Microsoft ?
Hello, any update on this? Almost one year with no answer from Microsoft...
Just want to add that "deleting a message when clicking on an accept button" is a paradigm I find a bit weird (and by reading all the thread I think I'm not the only one). Please do something...
Hi All,
I have been very frustrated with the inability to disable the auto-deletion of Meeting Invitations, but found a work-around that I thought I would share.
You can create a "Quick Step" in the toolbar of "New" Outlook. I did the following:
Name of Quick Step: "Meetings"
Choose an action: "Copy to" and created a new folder called "Meetings"
Now when an invitation comes through, I hit the quick step button and it sends a copy of the invitation to the "Meetings" folder. I can then respond to the meeting, which causes it to auto-delete. Then I go into the Meetings folder and drag the meeting invitation to the actual folder I want it in.
Very cumbersome, and seems silly that this issue hasn't been fixed in development, but it is working for me at this point.
Best Regards,
Adding on to this since I have no idea why this is the default experience in "new" Outlook. Meeting invites often contain a lot of information in their associated emails that currently just gets shuffled into the trash, and is hard either or impossible to access through calendar view. I don't really want to switch back to old Outlook, as I appreciate the new layout, but this seems like such an easy thing to fix!
This does not work. The box is unchecked and has been for several months, yet the meeting requests continue to be auto deleted.
Just one more item which is a step back with the new versions of office and Windows 11.
Frustrating....
