Reply and Delete option in Web Outlook?

[DaisyPetals]

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?

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.

You are right, I wrote faster than I thought :)). Didn't look closely that it was OWA.

Thank you. I expected that to be the case. It's a pity.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Victor, she did not mention email or calendar event. So I provided at least one alternative method that MS offers.

Teresa, she said '"Reply and Delete" option from Quick Steps'. That's enough to understand she means the emails.
