You can use the built-in Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts mechanism to program a keyboard shortcut to accept.

  1. Open System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts
  2. Add a new entry for "Microsoft Outlook".
  3. The menu option you want is Meeting->Accept->Do Not Send a Response (no quotes, do NOT put a space before or after the arrows.

Pro-tip: -> lets you drill down into a submenu).
