Thanks, helped me too. Worked perfectly.
Still don't knot why these messages couldn't be deleted, but they are gone now :-)

Hi,

I have a meeting invite that is stuck in the outbox and can not delete it using the script. I receive this error message:
+++++
Result:
error "Microsoft Outlook got an error: calendar event id 6151 doesn’t understand the “permanently delete” message." number -1708 from calendar event id 6151
+++++
Is there another command I need to use to delete a meeting invite vs. a message?

Thanks
