When you receive a meeting invitation for a time that conflicts with another appointment on your calendar, you can propose a new meeting time — from your email inbox or from your calendar.

In your email inbox, double-click the meeting request to open it.

Click Propose New Time, and choose one of the following:

-
Decline and Propose New Time
Tip: By selecting this option, if the meeting organizer doesn't accept your proposed new time, the calendar will show you as not attending the meeting.

Enter the date and time of your new meeting proposal, and click Propose New Time.

Add a note in the body of the message, and click Send.
