Email drafts will NOT STOP popping up...

I am being constantly bombarded by new windows popping up with an email draft any time I open my mail app on my Mac mini. They seem to be coming from the same email address, and each one of them is for an event that I have set up in my calendar. Each draft title is "Alert:________" with the blank standing for some event I've had in my calendar in the last few years. The drafts only show up on this computer.

I can't use my mail app anymore. If it's accidentally opened, I have to force quit. Any ideas on how to help?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

We understand an email draft will open when opening the Mail application on your Mac. If you have deleted the message from the drafts folder and it still appears, we suggest to try logging into your mail provider via a web browser and check to see if the draft shows there as well. If it does, delete the draft there and test to see if the behavior persists on your Mac. You can also test to see if the behavior ceases by deselecting the option to store draft messages on the server under Mail > Preferences, click Accounts, then click Mailbox Behaviors.

Change Mailbox Behaviors preferences in Mail on Mac

We trust this helps. Let us know.

Take care.
