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.

    SOLVED for new outlook:

    1. Open the new Outlook app.
    2. Click the Settings gear icon (top right corner).
    3. Go to:
      • Calendar > Events and invitations
    4. Scroll down to the option:

    ✅ Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding 5. Uncheck this box to prevent Outlook from deleting meeting invites after you accept them. 6. Click Save.

    Sorry, the screen shot I shared was for the NEW Outlook in response to the person that was looking for a solution for the NEW Outlook.

    For the current Outlook, it's File > Options > Mail, then scroll down to "Send messages", and uncheck "Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding"

    Is this only for PC's? I can't find it on Mac. Can someone attach screenshots if it works for Macs?
