Outlook Feature Request: Bulk accept or decline meeting/event invites

Would it be possible to add a feature in Outlook that allows users to accept or decline multiple meeting invites/events/appointments at once, ideally through the right-click context menu?

This would be very useful for handling OOO requests from other team members, especially after returning from PTO. Instead of opening and processing each invite individually, users could select multiple items and accept or decline them in bulk from the context menu.

This enhancement would save time, reduce repetitive actions, and significantly improve the Outlook user experience.

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you for sharing your suggestion.

    I think this would be a very useful enhancement, especially for users who need to process a large number of meeting invitations or OOO requests after returning from PTO.

    To help ensure that your suggestion reaches the Microsoft Outlook development team more effectively, I recommend submitting it through the Outlook (new) Community. This platform allows users to submit product feedback and feature requests for the development team to review and consider for future Outlook enhancements. Other users can also vote and comment on the suggestion, which may help increase its visibility to the product team.

    I hope this bulk accept or decline functionality will be considered and added to Outlook in a future update. Should you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to share them in the comment below. I'm very happy to help. 

    Additionally, since many other users have expressed similar concerns but may not know where to submit feedback, if my response has helped you better understand the situation and guided you toward a possible next step, please mark it as 'Yes'. Your action will help pin this post to the top, making it easier for others in the community who are experiencing the same issue to find your feedback and support it.    

    Thank you again for your time and for raising this important usability concern.
