Remove an account from Mac Calendar but keep it in Mail

I want to delete an account in Calendar, but keep it in Mail.

I have an old account that I want to get rid of in Calendar on the Mac. I go to Internet Accounts in Settings and Mail is turned on, but everything else including Calendars is turned off.

How do I get this account out of Calendar and keep it in Mail when it is already turned off in Calendar.

Every time I create an event in Calendar it defaults to this account which I never use.

Mac mini (M4 Pro, 2024)

How to stop autofill of old (no longer valid) email address in a Calendar invite? How do I stop Mac Calendar from autofilling an old, invalid email address for someone I want to invite? The address is for a person I invite to events regularly, so it is a real pain to have to manually override the invalid email address every time. I have deleted the telephone number from the person's contact entry and it still fills in the old address. Thank you for any help!

Calendar not showing iCloud calendars I set up a new MBP 14" (M1 Max, Late 2021 design) running Mac OS Monterey 12.6.5 fully updated for that OS, and one thing is not working right. My Calendar app is not showing iCloud calendars like my Family and Medical calendars that show up on my other Macs, iPhone and iPad. I tried disabling the account and reenabling it in System Preferences under Apple ID and Internet Accounts, but still nothing. The calendars for the iCloud account do not show up in the sidebar in the app at all. Is there some way to reset this?

Connect ONLY Calendar.app to iCloud Calendar app on macOS 14.3.1, on a work-owned laptop I would like to connect this to my personal iCloud Calendar - but ONLY the Calendar. If I go into System Settings -> Internet Accounts (or Calendar -> Preferences -> Accounts) and add an account, if I choose "iCloud" it attempts to set up the entire system with my personal account - including Mail, document sync, and encryption stuff for Messages and Health - none of which I want on this computer (and some of which I'm forbidden by corporate policy) All I want are my calendars. I tried adding them as CalDAV - which I can do successfully in another client like Mozilla Thunderbird - but I can't seem to find the right values to put in Calendar.app, either by Automatic, Manual, or Advanced. I've tried with my iCloud password >and< with an app-specific password. I'm aware that if I sign in with iCloud normally, I can de-select all the other apps like Mail, Notes... but that's not 100% disabling all the integration, and System Settings keeps nagging about "some icloud data isn't syncing" (because I didn't feed it my iPhone passkey when prompted - which is only needed for the encrypted health + message data, none of which I am doing here) Is there a way to make this happen? If so, how? Appreciate anyone's insight! Much appreciated!
