**Steps to stop** [**Outlook**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95183/how-do-i-solve-the-issues-on-outlook-mail) from sending an update:

- If you alter the location of a meeting, you may need to use a workaround to prevent Outlook from sending out an update automatically. The key is to switch the program to offline mode. To do so, go to the Send/Receive tab and **select Work Offline from the drop-down menu.**
- Update your calendar entries information in offline Outlook, then click Send Update.
- **Change your mail view to ctrl + 6,** then find the 'outbox' and delete that email.
- If you switch to online work, your attendees will not receive any notifications; nevertheless, in this case, only you will be able to see the updates.
