We are piloting the use of a Group calendar to track employee time off requests in our department. When adding an event to the Group calendar, an invite is sent to the Group mailbox, as well as to every member of the Group. Even though the event is added to the calendar automatically (not awaiting an RSVP from the Group), the invite stays in the Group mailbox permanently. I can manually delete the invite from the mailbox, but this seems like something that shouldn't be necessary.
Why is the invite sent to the Group mailbox at all, when the appointment is created directly on the Group calendar? Is it just because sending the invite to the group generates copies that go to each member?
I would expect that since the event is already added to the calendar, the invites would be deleted from the group mailbox automatically, similar to how an invite in my personal mailbox is deleted automatically once I RSVP to it. Is there any reason to retain the invites in the group mailbox once they arrive?
