In Outlook (both for Windows and for Mac), the default behavior is to automatically respond with tentative to meetings requests, which results in meetings automatically added to the calendar. I receive a lot of meeting requests, and only need to attend a few of them (which I manually accept), so I'm not interested in all those meetings requests cluttering my calendar. Is it possible in Outlook for Mac to prevent meetings automatically being added to the calendar? I found I thread on how to do it in Outlook for Windows:, but wasn't able to configure it in the Mac version. I'm using Outlook for Mac 2011, Version 14.3.2. This actually isn't client-side (that is, Outlook) setting. This is a server setting on Exchange. Depending on how your Exchange server is configured, this might or might not be a setting that you are allowed to change. If you are allowed to change it, you can do so via Outlook Web App. The instructions that I'm giving here are for Exchange 2013. • Click the 'Settings' gear (upper right corner), then select 'Options'. • In the left navigation pane, select 'Settings', and then select 'calendar' in the main pane. • Scroll down until you see 'automatic processing'. Little app factory. Go to the Calendar view. Click to select the meeting you want to cancel and double click to open it. Or you can just select the meeting and press the Delete key on the keyboard, then skip to the below Step 5. In the popping up Meeting window, please click Cancel Meeting in the Actions group under Meeting tab. See screenshot: 5. Then click Send Cancellation button. Note In Outlook for Mac 2011 version 14.2.4 and earlier versions, data was appended to the same log file for every Outlook session. In Outlook for Mac 2011 version 14.2.5 and later versions and in Outlook 2016 for Mac, every time that you quit and start Outlook when logging is enabled, a new log file is created. If you can change this setting, you'll see a tick box titled 'Automatically place new meeting requests on my calendar, marked Tentative'. Docker hub httpd. Untick that box. • Click save, and then exit the settings. Earlier versions of Exchange also allow this, although the path to it is slightly different depending on which version of Exchange you're in. They should all be in the calendar settings, you might have to poke around to find the exact location in your version of Exchange. While working with a client to migrate an email account to Office 365 mailbox to replace an IMAP account and iCloud, we sent messages and meeting requests to the address to confirm everything was working correctly. The meeting requests I sent from my Outlook arrived in the new mailbox, while requests sent from a family member’s iPhone were automatically added to the user’s iCloud calendar. The address associated with the new Office 365 account was not the user’s Apple ID but that address was configured in the native iOS mail client. The cause: a setting in iCloud.com’s Calendar preferences tells iCloud to intercept meeting requests and add them to iCloud calendar. While this might be useful if you only use iPhone to manage your calendar, it is not helpful when you don’t want to use the iCloud or use an account that syncs a calendar to the phone. The solution: • Log into iCloud.com • Switch to the Calendar • Click Options ( ) • Select Preferences • Select Advanced tab • At the very bottom, in the Invitations section, choose the option to Email to [Apple ID address], not In-app notifications, and Save. (The meeting invite will be sent to the address on the invitation, not to the Apple ID address shown on the dialog.) Note that even though the meeting invitation is not sent to the Apple ID address, it can be hijacked by iCloud if you use the iOS Mail and Calendar apps and the invitation is sent from an Apple device.
