ask Dr. LJ - MS Outlook

How do I tell Outlook to stop deleting canceled meetings from calendars when I delete the cancellation emails?

Everyone in our office has a calendar in MS Outlook. I'm a delegate for my boss, and we've set up Outlook so I see meeting requests for her, and she doesn't.

When somebody cancels a meeting, I get that email, and it shows up in my boss's calendar as canceled. She doesn't like me to remove things from her calendar; she'd rather have the meeting still there, but showing up as canceled. The problem is that if I delete the notice-of-cancellation email, even if I don't actually use the "Remove from calendar" button in that email, the meeting gets deleted from the calendar. I could shunt the emails off into a subfolder in my inbox so they're not cluttering up the landscape, but I'd rather not because I've got 30-odd subfolders already.

Help?

Tell her to try removing the "Delete Items" permission from your delegate access to her email account.
