SYMPTOMS
When you receive and accept a meeting request, and then receive an updated meeting request, if you delete the updated meeting request from your Inbox, the meeting may be deleted from your calendar; you are not prompted to send a decline notice to the organizer.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the meeting request mail message is linked to the actual calendar item. When you delete the updated meeting request without opening the meeting request, Outlook removes the "deleted" calendar item.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
After you delete the updated meeting request, you may also receive the following error message:

One or more recipients in this item were not useable. You need to recreate the addresses. The item has been moved or deleted.
