ONE TIME MEETING:

Open your outlook. By default it navigates to HOME MENU of outlook.
Select the meeting icon from drop down box New Items in the New Group. A new screen is opened.

Below the groups, you can see from, to, subject, location, start time, end time, all day event.
To test how this meeting works: In the FROM drop down list box, your email id is displayed. If you have multiple accounts configured to outlook, those email ids are displayed. Select the email id from which you want to send this meeting.
In the TO box, type the recipient name or recipient names. NOTE: FOR TESTING THIS MEETING, I TYPED MY YAHOO EMAIL ID AND GMAIL ID in the TO BOX.
Type the SUBJECT, LOCATION on those boxes.
Select START DATE and TIME; Select END DATE and TIME.
Click SEND BUTTON.

I logged in to my GMAIL account and opened the email sent (MEETING REQUEST) from Outlook. I saw three buttons. YES, MAYBE, and NO. To test it, I clicked NO button.

I logged in to my YAHOO account and opened the email sent (MEETING REQUEST) from Outlook I saw three buttons ACCEPT, MAYBE and DECLINE. To test it I clicked ACCEPT button.
