I accidently clicked "decline" on an outlook invitation and now I can't reverse it -- the event has completely disappeared from my calendar!

How can I get back the event invitation and change my "Decline" to "Accept" or "tentative"?

Is the invite in your Deleted Items folder still? – Troggy Nov 19 '09 at 18:47

The invite should still be in the "Deleted Items" Folder. If you go there, you will see the Accept / Decline options again. Click the correct one.

With a regular email you can go to the Sent Items folder and click Recall This Message and Exchange will attempt to recall it. That option does not seem to be available for an invitation to a metting. I also looked at Matthew's answer and my version of Outlook (2003) shows only the declined invite in the deleted folder. I do not have the option to change my response. I think all you can do is ask the sender to invite you again.

Periodically I accidentally delete a request before replying, and I've always had success with just dragging it out of Deleted Items back into the Inbox, then opening it and sending the reply of my choice. I'm not sure I've ever tried changing a response once sent, but all the response buttons do display, so it'd be worth a try.
