Is there a setting so that when an Outlook meeting invitation is accepted the invitation is not automatically removed from the Inbox? I often accept invitations and then realize that I needed some information about them. It would make it easier if they stayed in the Inbox and behaved more like everything else in the Inbox.

Yes, it's a configurable option in Outlook.
Go to:
Untick Delete meeting request from Inbox when responding.
Go to the File tab in the ribbon and click Options. Select the Mail entry in the left pane.
Scroll down and untick Delete Meeting Requests and Notifications from Inbox after Responding.
Now when you accept a meeting invitation it should keep the original mail in the inbox.

I used your phrase "Delete meeting request from inbox when responding" to find this solution for Outlook 2010: http://www.officeusers.org/editorials/default.aspx?id=2770

On Outlook online, go to Options -> All Options -> Settings -> Calendar, then uncheck "Delete meeting requests and responses that have been updated" then press save.
