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?

    Thanks @jspears0501. I assume this only works on Outlook Classic however, not Outlook PWA or new Outlook, as there is no Mail – Tracking options on those versions?

    Hi! I just sent out meeting invites with Request Responses turned off because I wanted to avoid the emails, but despite what this post says, there is no tracking information in the event details on my Outlook calendar. Instead, under Attendees it says "You haven't requested responses for this event." So no, I don't think it's true that it only stops email notifications. I believe it doesn't collect the information at all, which is not what I wanted.

    Is there a way to make that a permanent setting on my outlook calendar? So that I don't have to remember to do that everytime I make a calendar invite?

    I'm wondering the same. It's the one thing I cannot make a rule for in the new outlook and it's becoming annoying.

    I agree with this, the same thing is happening for me, and I have also tested it many times. I need to be able to still see "Accepted, Tentative and Not Responded", when I open the meeting in Outlook. However, I do NOT want email notifications of people's responses! So frustrating and annoying that there is not an easy option to make this happen.
