![]() Now that most people are working from home, and we’ve switched to O365 with Microsoft hosting our servers, we’re seeing the same thing reported here. ![]() It would have been around 2015, and we were hosting our own Exchange servers internally. I’m fairly certain that we did not have to click “Send the response” in the past for Outlook meetings in order for attendees to show as Accepted… at least for attendees in our own organization. Just stumbled across this, not sure how late I am to the post. ![]() Online Public Productivity Training Programs Workload and Email Productivity Trainer/Coach When you get an Outlook meeting request from someone, and you intend to go, or even decline, always choose ‘Send a Response Now’ (or ‘Edit the Response before Sending’ if you need to make a comment) when responding to the meeting organiser. ![]() Returning to my example above, if Mary chooses ‘Send a Response Now’ when accepting my meeting request, I will see her acceptance in the ‘Tracking’ tab, as in the next screenshot. It makes the ‘Tracking’ tab in their meeting planner basically useless. We think we’re doing the right thing, whereas in fact we create frustration and ultimately more work for the organiser because they don’t know whether or not we’re going to come to their meeting. The problem is that many people, myself included until I knew better, tend to choose ‘Do Not Send a Response’ because they don’t want to bother the organiser with another email. That’s right … it shows ‘None’ in the response column as in the earlier screenshot. If you choose that last option, the Response field in the organiser’s ‘Tracking’ tab does not get updated, even though you’ve accepted the invite.
