Several reasons... for example: Administrative assistants have many
calendars to look at already; this would double the number. Meetings would
not easily show up on PDA... important if the conflict clears, or your boss
sends you an urgent message that you need to go, or the conflicting meeting
ends early. Some devices have a small amount of screen real estate that would
make it hard to display two calendars. Thanks for your reply.

Why is it that in every thread I read about this very basic feature, the 'experts' all question why you can't just either 'tentatively accept' and faff around sending the meeting organiser a coded message saying 'Actually, I'm really not coming' or do some kind of jiggory pokery with other Outlook calendars, etc?
I simply want to let the meeting organiser know that I cannot attend, but keep the meeting in the calendar to remind me it's happening. e.g. I'm on annual leave for a week, but there's a team meeting that I want to remember is happening, so that someone can represent some views for me.
All it needs is an option for 'Keep declined appointments in Calendar'. Why is it so difficult for Microsoft to understand their customers' needs?
