- Nikolino,
I took a look at the above links and they do not answer my query, which is that in the Outlook Desktop version, it is possible to select 'Reply & delete' within Quick Steps.
But thank you for trying to help.

I found the solution in Outlook for the Web. You must enable "Delete invitation and responses that have been updated".
- Navigate to Calendar
- Settings Icon | View All Settings
- Choose: Calendar | Events and Invitations
- Under Invitations from other people, add a checkmark by
- Delete invitation and responses that have been updated
- Optional: Delete notifications about forwarded events.
Once you respond to the original email, the email is deleted and your response is saved in the Sent Folder.
I tested and confirmed.- Teresa_Cyrus
Thanks for looking into this, but I this does not help with emails.
In the desktop version of Outlook, you can select "Reply and Delete" option from Quick Steps.
How can I replicate this in the Web Outlook version? It does not impact the Calendar. Hi Teresa_Cyrus,
unfortunately your suggestion just doesn't work for emails.
It looks logical as you have mentioned the options for Calendar.
Did you try to reply to an email in Inbox?
- Victor, she did not mention email or calendar event. So I provided at least one alternative method that MS offers.
- You are right, I wrote faster than I thought :)). Didn't look closely that it was OWA.
Hi DaisyPetals,
you cannot do that in OWA. If you are ready to pay, hire somebody to create an add-in for OWA that implements this functionality.
Thank you. I expected that to be the case. It's a pity.
