You can turn off the calendar "sniffer" by going to Tools | OPtions
| E-mail Options | Tracking Options and clearing the box for
"Process requests and responses on arrival."



did that. Invitations are still added automatically to my calendar.


Well, sounds like you are work where it is possible you don't get to
decide behavior and instead it is pushed to you to comply with company
policies. Talk to your Exchange admin or IT dept and the policies
they push onto your computer when you log into their domain. They
probably don't care about an individual's preference and want behavior
that complies with the company's needs, not yours.

You are using THEIR property, THEIR software, and you are supposed to
be consuming your on-hours working for THEM. Guess it's THEIR choice
how they want their policies enforced. Policies are set by IT under
direction from management. There are ways around some policies but
I'm not going to reveal those because you should first be contacting
your IT dept. regarding your peculiar need to violate their
company-wide policies. For example, they will push how long your
computer is idle before the screen blanker activates which is password
protected, and I can override that but only during the current session
but then figured out how to do it (er, undo it) on every login - but I
first check with IT and told them what I was going to do and why I had
to do it. Ask them.
