How to not show calendar events from group in Exchange/Outlook

Question

I am using Outlook 2016.

I am in an email group and my company has a stupid policy where any meeting events made should include this emailgroup as an attendee. So thousands of meetings invite come to my inbox. I created a rule so that the emails sent to that group are moved to a specific folder. But they still show up in my calendar. You know what this looks like if I want to see what my schedule is like.

How do I make it so that the calendar would not show these events, unless my personal email is included as an attendee?

Answer 1

You simply want to filter the invites on your calendar view.

Firstly, I'm presuming you can't just turn off the group's invites in your calendar? I don't care what most of my team are upto so here I have turned them all off:

If not, you can filter the calendar view -> View Settings while in the calendar view

Then in filter -> Advanced and try something like setting the Recipient Name field doesn't contain the name of the Team who's invited to every meeting.

You may need to combine rules, such as the one above along with 'Or contains my name' so you get meetings you're specifically invited to.
