We’re introducing a new Events message filter in Outlook that helps users quickly find calendar invitations and event-related messages in their mailbox. Users can select Events from the filter drop-down menu to view meeting invitations and related event communications in one place.
This update helps users more easily locate meeting requests, stay organized, and respond to invitations in a timely manner.
