I accepted a meeting request with a phone number on it, assuming that I would be able to open that message again in the future to get the number. But when I went back to my Inbox right before the meeting, the message was gone.

I was ultimately able to find the message in my Deleted Items folder, which is not preferable if you have configured Outlook to empty your Deleted Items folder upon exit.

Step 1: Launch Microsoft Outlook 2010.

Step 2: Click the File tab at the top-left corner of the window.

Step 3: Click Options at the bottom of the left column.

Step 4: Click Mail in the column at the left side of the Outlook Options window.

Step 5: Scroll to the Send Messages section at the center of the window.

Step 6: Click the box to the left of Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding.

Step 7: Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
