When accepting an appointment from calendar, remove it from Inbox

[Guest]

No reason for it to stay in my Inbox once accepted.

tools, options, email options, advanced... delete meeting requests from
inbox option near the bottom of the dialog.

I found that, but the actual checkbox reads "Delete meeting request from
Inbox when responding". That doesn't necessarily have anything to do with
accepting the appt from my calendar, plus I don't normally respond when
accepting appts. In short, that didn't do it.

accept/decline = respond regardless of how its accepted or declined

They will delete if outlook accepts/declines automatically. If you click the
'no response required' button in the reading pane it will be deleted.

Not working. Maybe I'm not being clear in my problem description. When
someone sends me an appointment and I view it from my calendar and THERE
right click it and choose Accept and then choose No Reponse in the dialog
that appears, I still have to go to the inbox and delete the original receipt
that prompted me to look at the calendar. The Advanced E-mail Options
checkbox "Delete meeting request from inbox when responding" has always been
checked. If I open the appointment from my inbox and accept/decline there, it
does delete itself, but that's not what I'm asking.

Right.. but no response is actually a response. And it doesn't matter
which response you choose, it is not deleted from the inbox when you do it
from the calendar. You'll need to either accept it from the inbox, delete
it, or click the 'no response required' button in the preview pane to get
rid of it.

Understood. OK. I'll take the "can't get there from here" answer.
