Accept & Do Not Send a Response

I know there's a solution in the works - but here's a solve in the meantime. Bit of a roundabout, though should help.  

Problem:

• When you “Accept but do not send a response” for a meeting invite, the organizer has no way of knowing if you accepted the meeting.
• If you “Accept and send a response,” the organizer gets bombarded with emails.

Solution:

• When invited to a meeting, always send a response but…
• Have everyone change their Outlook settings.  
• File > Options > Mail
• Scroll down to the Tracking section, and check the boxes that say:
• “Update tracking information and then delete responses that don’t contain comments.”
• “After updating tracking information, move receipt to:” (select folder, e.g., Deleted Items)

Result: No one has to feel bad for filling up inboxes, BUT now all meeting organizers will know that you’re attending. And if you’re the organizer and there was a comment in the response, it’ll still show up in your inbox!
