How to stop ical from sending email notifications for updates on my share ical calendar

Is it possible stop ical from sending email notifications for updates I make on my share ical calendar?

Mac OSX 10.7.2

Very annoying for the person I am sharing my calendar with to get an email every time I change something.

I hope there is a way to stop the emails, but for the updates to still go on their calendar.

Thanks

Happening for me too - but only one way... When I add/modify/delete an event in any one of my 7 shared calendars, my wife, who is sharing those calendars, gets an email. When she modifies her single shared calendar, I do NOT get emails. And yes, I have the appropriate "Email me when..." lines UNchecked on her calendar. It's hard to tell when this behavior started, but we only noticed it yesterday. Nightmare!!!

Yep - count me in as well. Started sometime on March 14th. All settings in iCloud are correctly set to not send email notifications but every change made - even subtle changes - light up my wife's and/or my inbox. I think I had 21 notifications when my wife added a couple of events (and changed the time around a bit for an event or two).


Come on apple - fix this.

This is not amusing. My wife and I have shared both our calendars, and this just to see, what the other has in the diary. To get email notification by any little change is more than "super fluid" - it's absolutely unnecessary. I have unchecked everything which can be unchecked, but the problem persists. It just started yesterday (March 15) and could not be stopped up to now. Seems that Apple has a problem to solve....

I had the same problem a few months ago, i also found out how to stop it and posted the answer.


Log into icloud

Click calendar

On the left it shows the name of each calendar (home for example) with a little green and white icon that almost looks like a wifi symbol.

One at a time left click once on the one/s that you share with your wife or whoever and hey presto there is an option to stop emails.
