Accept - Do Not Send a Response
Many people use the "Accept - Do Not Send a Response" option thinking that they are recording their attendance on the calendar event but not sending an email that will flood the organizer's inbox. This option should be updated to reflect the way most users interpret it, or there should be another option that serves this purpose.

Need to be able to track acceptance even if the attendee chooses to accept but not send a response.

Please fix this issue - so that it reflects not only how all users use it and understand it to operate, but so that it does what it suggests it would do.

Wow, I too thought I was accepting visibly in the event's tracking list, but just not sending an email. Why is the current way even a thing??

This option should not exist. The organizer has the possibility to choose if he/she wants to receive the answers in inbox or not. This shall not be the option of the invitee who should only accept or not the invitation (or tentatively accept).

The fact that I had to learn that the "Do not Send a Response" option means that the organizing doesn't receive a response at all shows how absolutely terrible your program is. What the actual. Who the **** wants to accept an invite but keep it a secret from the host????????

Please change this and apply it to any version of office that is running not just latest 365 build.
If an update is made the meeting the accepted without response user will miss out on the new information

This function worked since Exchange 5.5 or so. Why has it not been fixed on Exchange Online - this was raised four years ago and can reduce a significan numbers of unimportant mails

Agreed. It is confusing because the meeting organizer sees "None" in the Response status in Tracking,

Crazy that this is the case - why does the organiser need to have a email response for a meet invite; just check the acceptance list!

Or the meeting organizer should be able to disable the "Do Not Send a Response" and therefore always getting a response.

Please implement this as currently is not very helpful to managing invites.

asking for a response clogs up inboxes. Accepting but not sending a response should still record the fact that you are going to attend the meeting but without clogging up the inbox. Sort. It. Out. Why should this even need voting on ????

Actually that function makes a lot of sense to me. I often send invites between different accounts of myself to have them in the different calendars. I do not need to let myself know that I will attend.
Also my wife and me or colleagues sitting next to each other are sending us invites to have them in the calendar. As this is already verbally agreed I do not need to send a response. For me no change needed for that feature. -

Seriously? Who ever thought this was a good idea? Do you not use the calendaring? IT FORMERLY recorded all answers whether an email was sent to the host or not. This is lunacy. People get TOO MANY emails. Why on earth are you forcing us to send YET ANOTHER email to someone in order to record our attendance. Someone was clearly NOT thinking. And why is this FOUR years old? This should have been fixed within minutes of you finding out this HUGE error in handling meeting attendance.
