How do I transfer meeting ownership in Outlook 2010?

Solution 1:

That functionality is not possible with Outlook to date. The original organizer must cancel the meeting and new organizer create a new one. If the meeting is on a shared calendar, an admin can remove it, but not change the owner. That is the only way.

Outlook does not provide a way to change a meeting organizer. To change the meeting organizer of a recurring meeting, end the recurring meeting. To do this, set an earlier end date and send the update to all attendees. After you complete this step, the new organizer should create a new recurring meeting.

Solution 2:

It is not possible, but here is a workaround

1. Open the original message

2. Reply to all

3. Save the message (it will be saved in your draft folder)

4. Click (don't open) the message in your draft folder

5. Click "Meeting" in the respond section of the outlook ribbon

Solution 3:

If you secretary needs to do this the she is the owner and organizer of the meeting. You are just a participant. If the person leaves then her account should be disabled or deleted and you loose the meetings. Sadly that is just the way it is.

What you might want to do is either:

• Look into the functionality of delegates and let your secretary arrange things on your behalf
• or create a functional account rather than a personal account.

Functional accounts are things like '[email protected]', not "jane@.." or "Joe@..".
