You can enable or disable the Calendar Attendant function to process meeting messages for a user. A meeting message is any meeting item used in the meeting workflow to update calendar items.

By default, the Calendar Attendant performs the following actions on a user's calendar:

Updates the time of the meeting on an attendee's calendar after receiving an update from the organizer.
Updates the attendee's response on the organizer's calendar after receiving a response from the attendee.

For more information about how to disable the automatic removal of older meeting messages on a per-user basis in Microsoft Office Outlook Web App, see "Automatic Processing" in Calendar Tab.
