Stopping Outlook 2013 from Deleting Meeting Requests from your Inbox

This is a setting that is very much about personal preference, and will depend upon the number of meeting requests that you receive via this method. People that receive a lot of meeting requests and faithfully follow their calendar are more likely to see these requests as junk that should be removed from their inbox, while people that might use a different calendar to manage their schedule or don’t receive a lot of these requests may like having them there. Whatever your preference, you can follow the steps below to adjust Outlook’s behavior when it comes to handling meeting requests in your inbox.

Step 1: Launch Outlook 2013.

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

Step 3: Click Options at the bottom of the column on the left side of the window. This is going to open a new Outlook Options window.

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

 Step 5: Scroll down to the Send messages section of the window, then click the box to the left of Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding to remove the check mark.

 Step 6: Click the OK button at the bottom of the window to apply your changes.
