How to automatically remove meeting invitations from your IBM Lotus Notes Inbox after you have responded to them

Mat Newman  December 11 2012 11:59:13
In IBM Lotus Notes 6/7/8, a meeting invitation sent to you via email will not automatically be removed from your Inbox after you accept/decline/or otherwise respond to the request.  To have them automatically removed (so that you don't accidentally remove the invite, and thus delete the calendar entry) it's best that you change your IBM Lotus Notes preferences so Notes removes them automatically for you.

Another one courtesy of Twitter:

Lotus Notes meeting requests and invites--I hate them so much. You can't delete them and they never go away--just get out of my inbox!


This is a really easy one to solve!
1.        File
2.        Preferences
3.        Calendar and To-Do
4.        Display (tab)
5.        Notices (tab)
6.        Check: Remove meeting notices from my Inbox after I process them (figure 1)
7.        Click OK.

And for those meeting entries that are still in your Inbox:
1.        Choose the Drop-Down arrow next to the "Folder" icon on your Mail Database Action Bar,
2.        Choose "Remove from Folder"

I prefer to remove meeting requests BEFORE I see them and respond. I hate meetings.

@3, Pradeep: If this is being checked without you changing it yourself then your Administrator has configured a policy setting to turn it on. Question: WHY do you want this feature turned off?

how do you set up lotus notes so it will automatically update the calendar when you receive an email notification that an event was deleted?

...and if Notes doesn't do what you set it to do, and you haven't got a policy which could be causing the issue? (I've tried setting it to something else, then back again, and I've also re-applied the template, and checked for protected design elements...)

I've got a couple of Notes 8.5.3 FP3 users with the standard 8.5.3 mailbox template with that problem at the moment. Not sure if it's affecting all users on the server at the moment.

How do I release old expired meeting invites from other people

I noticed that when I look at my everything folder that there are numerous meetings with attachments that have long since passed. Whenever I attempt to delete them, an icon next to the invite starts blinking yet does not do anything.

Hi Mat

Is it possible to automatically remove these notices from folders? I have rules set up to sort my incoming email.
