When you are invited to a meeting, you will receive an invitation by email. The event will also appear on your calendar and will be marked as tentative. Email invitations are identifiable by a calendar that appears at the top of the message as shown in the example below.

To reply to a meeting:

1. Click the invitation to view it.
2. Choose one of the response options at the top of the invitation.
   

Your response will be sent to the meeting organizer.

Once you respond to a meeting, the invitation will disappear from your mailbox. If you accept the meeting, it will remain on your calendar. If you decline the meeting it will not appear on your calendar. Never delete an invitation without replying to it. If you delete an invitation without replying, this will also delete it from your calendar and you will not be able to retrieve the meeting invitation.
