Meeting staying in the calendar declined rather than being deleted

[Guest]

I have a pretty packed calendar - and I frequently have to decline meetings
due to conflicts

However I would prefer that the meeting remained in the calendar in a
declined state rather than being deleted - as frequently the conflicting
meeting ends early or gets rescheduled - and I can attend after all

I don't have this option as the meeting is deleted once I decline

I tried replying tentatively - but people don't get the message that I have
a conflict and that they should try and reschedule.

I also tried copying myself on the declining reply - but the meeting still
does not show in the calendar

Any ideas?

One way is to accept it tentatively, move it to a separate calendar folder,
and decline it in the main calendar. There is no way to decline an event
and have it remain in the calendar.

Thanks - I'll try that
