Disable auto-delete of accepted meeting invites in the *new" Outlook?

Idk if this will work b/c I haven't received a new meeting invite today, but I went to Settings (upper right-hand corner of toolbar next to the "tips" lightbulb) -> calendar -> events and invitations -> Invitations from other people -> made sure that both check boxes in that section were NOT selected. Next time I get a meeting request, I will see if the email auto deletes or not.

I have done that but it still goes directly to the deleted folder.

Similar to this, I tested out a rule that copies invites received into an inbox subfolder folder and marks them as read. See rule settings screenshot below. For those who new to rules, in the new Outlook it is under Settings (gear symbol) > Mail > Rules.

Took me a while to select the folder that I created to house the copies, as the list of available destination folders didn't match what I saw in my left-hand folder list under Inbox, but it was there when I searched for it. So, now I have a copy of all invites received independent of main inbox and trash, if I ever need to go back and check one.

You could make a rule that copies it back into the inbox and marks it as read, so when you accept the original, the read copy is all that's left. But I feel like I wouldn't like seeing double invites in my inbox, and I actually have to scroll less when looking for old invites if they are archived in their own folder.

Thanks to @Daily_MS_User for the above workaround which gave me this idea. This issue is pretty much solved for me now.

That means users have started to find alternatives as Microsoft is not able to provide a fix for this problem.

It's shameful to Microsoft that there is no solution so far within last 2 years, in spite of so many users having a problem and reported to Microsoft.

This does literally nothing lmao.

Why tf does it not occur to microsoft THAT MEETING INVITES MIGHT CONTAIN INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE MEETING THAT I MIGHT WANT TO REVIEW AFTER ACCEPTING, WHY DO YOU ALL SUCK SO HARD?!?!
