Stop updated recur meeting request from wiping out past meetings?

[Craigster]

I get an Updated Meeting request foir a recurring meeting, and before I can
stop it, it changes all of the meetings in the past (or it deletes all of the
past meetings if the meeting organizer is canceling the meeting). But I
don't want to lose this history. How can I have Outlook only change/delete
meetings in the future in this situation?

Some changes will always regenerate all occurrences, wiping out any
exceptions you've created. You can't stop that. A recurring meeting is,
after all, only one item. If the organizer changes that item, Outlook will
recalculate all the recurrences. What you can do, though, is make a copy of
the calendar to a second calendar folder that acts as your history
container.
