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.

    Took me a minute to find it but this is in the new outlook settings.

    At the top window bar, click the Settings Gear Icon.

    Select Calendar.

    Select Events and invitations.

    Scroll down to Invitations from other people.

    Unselect any of the Delete invitation options.

    And Save.

    Worked for me.

    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...

    Wow! I'm sorry. Definitely disappointing that Microsoft hasn't addressed this.

    You need to get it established in your head that Microsoft could care less about its customers or their needs. They are an arrogant self serving entity who has the market cornered and they know it.

    Same here! This is beyond frustrating.
