Google Calendar invitations sent to Office 365 users bypass the inbox (no email notification)?

I have an Office 365 account that I use only for email. Problem: Whenever a third party sends me a Google calendar invitation, it never arrives in my Outlook 365 inbox.

Today I discovered that all those Google invitations land directly on my Office 365 Calendar, which I have never used (and don't need to use).

Is there a way to configure things (as a user) so I receive notifications in my Office 365 inbox when Google Calendar invites arrive? (You know, like every other email client does? :-)) I looked through Office 365 settings but didn't find a solution.

Thank you!

Do you have a rule set up which automatically accepts invites? - Matthew
No rules set up at all. Clever guess, though! - DanB
The invitations land on my Office 365 calendar, but the sender of the calendar invitations (from Google Calendar) never receives any acknowledgment of any acceptance. (My Office 365 Calendar entry reads: "You didn't respond.") - DanB
if you create a new account, send yourself an invite are you able to replicate? I wonder if it's something to do with the sender. - Matthew
Yes, it replicates. I have tried sending calendar invitations to my Office 365 account from three different Google accounts. Also, dozens of my colleagues have sent me Google calendar invites for years and I never see them (presumably they all went to Office 365 calendar directly). Is this normal Office 365 behavior? - DanB

Are you using the desktop client to read your mails or just the Outlook Web Access? I guess there's no setting in the webclient, but in the desktop application under Options - Calendar - AutoAccept.

With the autoaccept setting turned on the google calender invites are automatically added to the calendar and the email (which surley is received) is deleted (and can be found under deleted items)..
