Outlook Meeting Updates Going Directly to Deleted Items

JoostKoopmans1 I believe that Microsoft wants to move the controls for stuff like this to the service rather than keeping them in clients on the basis that it's more efficient to control in one place than to try to have settings spread over different clients and different versions of clients, including those not created by Microsoft. I see the sense of this approach.
Hi TonyRedmond , it really depends on the setting and if individual users have different requirements. Let's take the very useful feature of Quiet Hours in the Outlook mobile client. What if we would apply the same principal and have the service decide if and what hours will be applied?
It would be much more efficient from a Microsoft perspective but for most users becomes useless at best.
JoostKoopmans1 Quiet hours in the mobile client is an excellent example of a setting that must be client-side. In this case, it's because of the interaction between the client and the notification service (iOS or Android) to enforce quiet hours. Exchange Online has nothing to do with these notifications.
