Outlook 2010 and 2010+ versions seem to remove meeting request emails from your inbox once you accept or decline the invite.
How do I prevent these from being removed and keep them in my inbox?
Usually the meeting invite also contains useful information or things that need to be followed up later.
When an appointment is accepted in Outlook, it automatically gets placed onto the calendar and automatically deletes from you Email Inbox.
The AutoArchive feature automatically removes data from Outlook at specified intervals. If calendar entries are disappearing, you may inadvertently have AutoArchive configured to delete entries every seven days. To check your AutoArchive settings, click "File," and then click the "Options" tab.
Go to File -> Options -> Mail -> Send messages -> toggle "Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding" to off.
Step 1: Click the File > Options. Step 2: In the Outlook Options dialog box, click the Mail in the left, and then uncheck the option of Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding in the Send Messages section.
In Outlook, this is found under the File tab. Click Options, then Mail, and scroll down to the Send messages section. Uncheck the box next to Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding
The provided "ounce of prevention" instructions are spot on! However, when faced with the immediate dilemma of needing the email... one goes to the Deleted Items folder to find the email, BUT (because the invitation email may be prevented from opening by Outlook) one must click Reply to then be able to once again read (and hyperlink-click) the original email entries.
