Stop emailing random people in my name!
I went into the "book with me" feature to attempt to fix its broken behavior (allowing meetings outside my normal work time -- another stupid bug that I'm not even talking about now). I updated my me...

I'm so glad I found this! It just happened to me today after I linked it to my teams and I have no idea what happened. It opened tickets with the police, facilities, and IT by emailing them a booking invite as well as several random colleagues - so embarrassing. I was shocked that something like this could happen. Microsoft is going down the drain. I can't stand being forced to use it for work it makes everything so much more difficult thank it needs to be.

I just figured out the bug: Anytime you open your bookings to edit them, it automatically has "Send an email with your personal booking page to your top collaborators" checked. You can uncheck and save it but it will be checked again automatically when you go to edit a booking again. Pretty messed up that they make that assumption
- TryingToLikeMSFTNov 01, 2023Copper ContributorThanks for this fix mredmond. I had the same problem today, absolutely nuts that MSFT would ever send random emails without asking based on a buried setting in a crappy UI.
- AC1234567Nov 11, 2023Copper ContributorTHANK YOU for this reply. I'm in tears now over this and am scared to leave my bookings page as it will send more emails without permission. Where did you find that "Send an email with your personal booking page to your top collaborators" box? I'm so nervous to poke around and have more emails go out. This is horrible.

AC1234567 it's when you open a particular booking option to edit it. The 10 "top collaborators" will appear at the top. It is horrible I can't believe they let something like that happen.
- AC1234567Nov 15, 2023Copper ContributorThank you! Found it and tested it with saving and opening it and saw exactly what you said - the box is checked again to send emails. You have been a tremendous help!
