Accepting meeting and task requests without opening them Outlook's Preview Pane, which you can open by selecting View/Preview Pane from the menu bar, makes it easy to read your mail messages without having to open them. However, it doesn't make it easy to accept meeting and task requests. The Preview Pane is capable of displaying the details of a meeting or task request; however, it's unable to display a request's Accept button which, when you click it, sends notification of your response to the sender and adds the request to your Calendar or Tasks list (as applicable). You might then think that the only way to accept to a meeting or task request is to open it and click the Accept button. Fortunately, there's an easier method. Simply drag the request from your Inbox to the Calendar or Tasks icon in the Outlook Bar. When you do, Outlook automatically accepts the request, sends notification of your acceptance to the sender, and adds the item to your Calendar or Tasks list. You can also drag requests to the Calendar or Tasks folder in the Folder List to achieve the same results.
