Answer 2

Hello,

If you're not receiving email notifications for Outlook meeting invites, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

Check Notification Settings:

Open Outlook and go to File > Options > Mail.

Under the Message arrival section, ensure that "Play a sound" and "Show an envelope icon in the taskbar" are checked. This can help with general notifications.

Calendar Options:

Go to File > Options > Calendar.

Look for the Calendar options section and ensure that "Add new invitations to the Calendar" is set to your preference.

Email Rules:

Check if you have any rules set up that might be moving meeting invites to another folder or marking them as read.

Junk Email Settings:

Sometimes, meeting invites can end up in the Junk Email folder. Check there to see if they’re being misclassified.

If the problem persists, consider reinstalling Outlook.
