When I respond to an event invitation in Outlook 2016 (installed on my PC), it automatically moves the corresponding email to the Deleted folder. I would like to prevent this.

I found similar questions asked on this site:

• Prevent Outlook from automatically deleting meeting emails
• Keep Outlook Invitations in Inbox

I followed the provided solutions and have the option Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding turned off.

However, my Outlook still deleted the event invitation emails every time I respond to them which means I manually have to move them back to the Inbox folder.

If anyone has encountered this issue and has a solution, I would be happy to hear it.

Thanks!
