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.

    Horrible Fonts

    Inability to customize menus/folders

    Inability to not auto-delete calendar invites

    etc...

    I have the same issue and concerns, but my main concern is why on Earth would Microsoft push a platform to its business community users that is half-baked.

    Oh, silly me, did I forget greedy Microsoft's mantra [aka Corporate Mission Statement]: Our customers are suckers who pay for a product which is inferior to its predecessor then the same sucker who paid for the product will help us develop the product for free by telling us what is wrong with the product they are paying for which we already know is inferior but it is still nice to have confirmation.

    I am jealous of Microsoft's monopoly because if most companies did software development like Microsoft they would be out of business.

    check these instructions, I guess this will solve your problem. https://ut.service-now.com/sp?id=kb\_article&number=KB0012026

    Outlook usually sends meeting requests to the Deleted Items folder when you respond to a meeting request. To change this setting and keep your meeting requests:

     

    1. Click the File tab, then Options, and then select Mail.
    2. Under the Send messages heading, make sure the Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding checkbox is not selected.
    3. Click the OK button to close the dialog box.

    And what Microsoft do when you use exchange you can't switch off that optio :(

    "deleting a message when clicking on an accept button" is a paradigm I find a bit weird.

    Clearly they are not listening to customers, and are unaware of how we use the invitations.

    Microsoft... Please fix this!!!

    The New Outlook is worse than the old outlook so it should be called a beta outlook or Rubbish Outlook. Now I have to manually move all the deleted messages of accepted invites to Inbox.
