Outlook Meeting Updates Going Directly to Deleted Items
Microsoft made in change in how meeting updates are handled and smaller updates are now going directly to the Deleted items folder. This caused people to miss important updates to agenda items. I am ...
JoostKoopmans1great job documenting this change in behavior and bringing attention to the issue! Thank you!
I was able to force all updated meeting invites (even "smaller updates") to be placed in my Inbox by using a Rule. Under "Rules and Alerts" I created the following rule:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
uses the 'Conferencing Request' or 'Meeting Cancellation' or 'Meeting Request' form
display MeetingInvite in the New Item Alert window
and display a Desktop Alert
and stop processing more rules
Unfortunately this also has the side effect that each incoming meeting invite will now appear in my "New Item Alert" pop up window.
I hope this might be helpful to other users who really do want all the updated meeting invites to appear in their Inbox!
After some additional testing, I able to remove the pop-up alert window from the rule, and still achieve the desired behavior (updated meeting invites with "smaller updates" are delivered to my Inbox). Here's the updated rule:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
uses the 'Conferencing Request' or 'Meeting Cancellation' or 'Meeting Request' form
display a Desktop Alert
and stop processing more rules
