  In this scenario, the attendee is not removed from the Meeting Workspace. Additionally, when you send a meeting update, you receive the following message:
  
  

  You are currently working with Outlook offline. To update the attendees in the Meeting Workspace, you must have a local copy of the Address Book installed. Either download the Address Book with the Full details option selected, and then send the meeting update or use Outlook online.

  • User B opens the second email message and then right clicks the Add to Outlook Contacts command on user A’s email address.
