Greetings:

I was just wondering if anyone had ever had an experience with a meeting request being automatically accepted without sending a message to the inbox but just directly putting it on the calendar.

In this particular case the individual would have had an out of office auto reply active at the time they would have received the meeting request. But that is the only reason I can think of that it might have been auto accepted.

well, im having the same problem, outlook is automatically accepting the inviatations by simply opening the mail. without selecting accept or anything else. and the option to automatically accept meetings is NOT on.

I have been trying to figure out why, but so far no luck!.

Normally, when a meeting request comes in, if you're on the manditory attendance list, the meeting request should land in your inbox but it should ALSO appear on your calendar.

Has anyone checked to see if the SENDER has "Allow Attendees to propose new meeting times for meetings you organize" turn ON? If that's not turned on and you are listed as a manditory attendee, you won't get any choices.

Has anyone checked to see if the SENDER has "Request Response" turned on in the meeting request itself? If that's not turned on, the meeting request will go directly to the calendar.

Has anyone checked the sender's end of things at all? What version of Outlook? What version of the Exchange Server?
