I had accepted a meeting invitaiton (within Entourage '04) and now I
need to cancel myself from it. I don't see a way to do so?

I haven't tried this personally, but try going back to the meeting
invitation email and clicking on the Decline button. What does that do for
you?

Why would I still have the original email? In most cases, I delete
those emails as soon as I accept (or decline) the invitation.

There should be a way to do it from the event.

Yup, that worked, but it's a shame you can't do it from the event
itself.

Thanks, Clif

This looks like it's a definite needed feature in Office 2008.

I've experimented with both POP and Exchange meeting invitations. Simply
deleting the item from your own calendar does not trigger any response
to the meeting originator. The only way I can see doing this is as Adam
suggests, which is to keep the original message and Decline using it.
Not a great solution but the only one I can see myself aside from
sending a simple email declining participation.

Anyone interested in this feature should use Entourage's Help menu to
send feedback to Microsoft and let them know it's needed. I just did:

"A mechanism needs to be in place for those who have accepted meeting
invitations via POP, IMAP or Exchange to be able to return to the
calendar event and decline it. Currently, the only way to do this is to
use the Decline button in the original meeting invitation, which may
have been deleted once it was accepted and placed on the calendar."

Messages I delete go to my Deleted Items folder, where they stay for about a
month. Meeting requests that have to do with a particular project or client
go into a folder with other related messages.

I'm pretty meticulous about such things.

Agreed.
