Stop receiving email notifications of people responses for some events

Hi,

In my organisation, we use the outlook calendar to organise meetings, etc. It is very useful to receive notifications via email when people respond.

However, I use the same tool to create seminars with many invitees, so it becomes very annoying to receive hundreds of mails and notifications for them. Is there a way to prevent outlook to send me emails for some of the events?

    I had the same experience and it was a nightmare. I found this option to work for me.

    Go to File – Options – Mail – Tracking and select “Update Tracking information, and then delete responses that don’t contain a comment.”

    This will stop you receiving all calendar responses via email but will still track the responses. This way you are not flooded with accepted or rejected invitation responses, and you are still able to see who has responded and their response.

    I have the same question; if I uncheck the option to get notifications, when I go to see who and how many people accepted the meeting, there are no responses. Please advise. Thank you.

    This sounds very promising thank you! I will make sure to try it out on my next invite.

    I'm guessing it's still not be answered as to how we can default turn off receiving email notifications for ALL meetings vs. having to remember to do it every time you send a meeting invite?
