After furious head scratching, Shay.C. asked:
| When my delegate cancels a meeting in my name. I would like to get a
| notification.
| Outlook assumes that I have canceled and need no notification.
This is an example scenario: I'm out of office, and my outlook delegate gets
a phone call from someone whom I was scheduled to meet, asking to cancel our
meeting.
My delegate then cancels my meeting. I'm getting back to my office, unaware
that the meeting was canceled, it just "disappeared" from the calendar.
I Would prefer that a note will appear on my screen, letting me know that
"Your delegate had cancelled the ????? meeting on your behalf"

Why can't you simply ask her to send you a message if she does that?
Wouldn't that be just as efficient?

Thanks for the workarounds, I would appriciate a straight "There is no way to
do it" - since my delagate deals with all the office appointments, sending a
mail after each change to one's calendar is tiresome.

I can't give you one, since I can't say definitively that there isn't,
however, I find that problems that can be addressed simply by small changes
in behavior that cost nothing to implement and that promote inter-employee
cooperation are much better than any technological solution.
