Calendar Accept Meeting response without opening each acceptance

[Guest]

Can anyone help me please?
I use the calendar to send out training invites for in-house courses we run
and receive hundreds of responses.
I have noticed that when I mark responses as read they still do not update
the acceptance/decline in the meeting request. I have to manually open or
preview pane each response for the calendar to update.

Is there an easier way??
Shouldnt it automatically update the calendar once the response is received
- whether it has been read or not?????

I dont see why the calendar does not automatically update if you mark the
item as read!!
Its sooo time consuming.

How does reading a meeting request in any way convey that it has been
accepted? Do you have Tools>Options>Calendar Options>Resource
Options>Automatically accept meeting requests and process cancellations
checked?

Hi Elana

Do the responses get moved to a folder by a rule? The Inbox Sniffer is the
bit of Outlook that processes these automatically, and it only runs on the
Inbox.
