I frequently host meetings (seminars) where I invite quite a lot of people. The Accept/Decline/Tentative receipts then quickly fill my mailbox.

I don’t really care about these responses until closer to the signup deadline and even then I use the Tracking button that is shown within the Meeting item and not all the receipts.

How can I disable these email notifications and just see the responses on the Tracking tab of the meeting?

I’m one of many that doesn’t delete any of the emails that I send or receive. I really like that history but I decided that I really should not hoard all the old Newsletters and RSS feed items that I receive as well.

Is there any way to quickly get rid of all the items which are from last year and older?

I know I can request a Read Receipt to find out when someone read a message that I sent. However, I'd like to know when I read a message that someone else has sent to me.

For instance, this would be especially useful to me for informational messages which did not require me to reply but are important enough to know when I’ve actually read it.

Is this information registered somewhere in Outlook or in a log file?

I just installed New Outlook on my computer and wondered where exactly it got installed.

I don’t see it in the Office installation folder (where outlook.exe is as well), nor anywhere else in Program Files. The shortcut doesn’t reveal anything either.

How can I determine where New Outlook is installed and open the installation folder?
