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.

    @ScottShulte nailed it. The option to remove from web-based outlook is not there and needs to be. For business accounting we need to retain the meeting invite after it has been accepted without going through extra steps. If it available in the client app why not in the web based version.

    Sorry, that's not a solution and does not address the original problem. That is about deleting modified invites. We are talking about not deleting the message with an invitation if the invitation is accepted.

    "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!!!

    Noone said anything about having it on by default, only to be able to have it available at all - especially since it used to be available.

    When meeting requests have useful information on them, they have no place in the recycle bin.

    One option is to accept the meeting invite from Teams instead of outlook, that doesnt delete it in the new version.

    Thanks,
    DS
