Stop Deleting Meeting Requests From the Inbox

SUMMARY: Prevent Outlook 2007 from deleting a meeting request from your Inbox when you respond.


 

By default, whenever you respond to a meeting request in Microsoft Outlook 2007, the request is removed from your Inbox. This assumes that a reminder in the calendar is all you will need of the request.

If desired, you can keep meeting requests in the Inbox as a second reminder of the upcoming meeting, allowing you to later delete the Inbox request manually as/if needed.

1. Select "Tools" - "Options".

2. The "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears. Click the "Preferences" tab.

3. Click the E-mail Options button.


4. When the E-mail Options dialog box appears, click the "Advanced E-mail Options" button.

5. The "Advanced E-mail Options" dialog box appears. Uncheck "Delete meeting requests from Inbox when responding".
