How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events?

Whenever I update anything on my shared calendar, all those who subscribe to it get an email/notification about what I've changed or added.

Same if someone who I'm subscribed to updates anything on their calendar, I get an inbox full of emails telling me they have done so.


Am I able to stop sending these update emails/notifications? And/or is there a setting to stop recieving these update emails/notifications?

Count me in, too. It's happening in only one direction: my wife's calendar to me but not mine to hers.


I've checked settings. "E-mail me when this calendar is changed" is not checked for any calendar on anyone's account.


The only difference between her and me that I can think of is that her laptop runs SL rather than Lion. (This is a Quicken thing; now that Quicken 2007 seems to be operating reliably on another Lion machine in the house, she'll switch to Lion on her laptop, too.) But I also get the notices from events she creates on her iPhone and iPad.

This just started happening to me as well, last night out of the blue. It's massively annoying.


I'd guess this is probably some kind of bug on the server side, but man does Apple need to figure out what it is and change it quickly, because if I'm going to be getting emails every 5-10 minutes just because someone edited an event, then I'm going to have to stop using iCal/iCloud.

It appears that for some reason it's ignoring the setting on the shared calendar setting in iCloud on sending email notifications. It appears from the traffic here that this is something that changed last night and needs to be fixed. It certainly is annoying...

Same problem here. Must be an iCloud problem. It seems it started after the software upgrade yesterday, but this may be unrelated. It clearly is an Apple problem, as nothing in our settings has changed.


Apple: Please fix this ASAP. It is rendering iCloud useless for enterprise use.
