Hi @Pontus ,

How to not delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding in the Send Messages section in Office365 outlook ONLINE? Not the outlook office old product but the online version.

Currently, this option is only available to Outlook desktop clients. And per my test, clearing the checkbox of “Delete meeting request and notification from Inbox after responding” from within the Outlook desktop client only works when the meeting requests are handled inside Outlook desktop, so it's not an alternative if you mainly use the Outlook on the Web.

With the above being said, a workaround I come up with is to create a rule to always move a copy of the incoming meeting requests to a particular folder, so that you can more easily find the meeting email from there:

Additionally, I just tried submitting this via the official feedback portal for Exchange Online. The link would be left below so that you or others can also vote on the feature:

I found a similar post for outlook.com as well and have also voted on it:
Prevent Meeting Invite From being Deleted

Hope this feature can be added in the future.

By the way, actually the tag "outlook" is for issues about Outlook desktop clients, since your question is about Office365 outlook ONLINE, I'll modify the tag to "Exchange Online" which is more appropriate : )
