How to stop calendar email notifications

I recently changed my computer and transferred everything from the previous one via Time Machine.

In this new computer when I create an event on calendar it automatically sets an email notification 10min before start. I already went to settings and I don't know how to disable it.

Funny enough, for each event I receive up to 3 different emails and from different email accounts that are not related to that calendar account.

I don't know what to do...

Greetings Atgman,


In the Calendar app, choose Calendar from the menu bar and then Preferences > Alerts choose the drop-down for the calendar these events are being created on, then look at the default alerts. What is set here? If nothing, do you sync this calendar with more than one device?

Atgman,


Got it. Let's keep going with this.


When you first set up an event, you will also get an option to set a unique alert for each event. Can you take a look at the specific event and then click on the link to the right that says Add Alert, Repeat, or Travel Time? When that is open, do you see Custom as an option under Alert? This would be the location that you could add an email notification one or more than one email.


Does this issue happen if you create the event on your iPhone or iPad? Knowing this can help us isolate if this is system wide or device specific.


This resource may help you with the notifications of these events as well: Set event alerts and receive notifications in Calendar on Mac - Apple Support You can also ignore all events in a specific Calendar by following these steps:


Turn off alerts for a calendar

* In the Calendar app  on your Mac, Control-click the name of the calendar in the calendar list, then choose Get Info.

If you don’t see the calendar list on the left, choose View > Show Calendar List.
* Select “Ignore alerts,” then click OK.

Hope that helps! Keep us updated.
