Make Mail app stop sending calendar notifications?

[orschinger]

Is there a way to completely disable OS X Mail.app to fire up and send Calendar notifications?

I use Thunderbird for email and google calendar for calendar (obviously).

Nobody?

I want to receive mail reminders / notifications automatically sent via gmail, not by mail app.

HEEEELP Thanks for any helpful advise, my fellow Macrumors!

Please?

Still no solution... No one else with that problem?

Yes! I've been trying to find a fix for this and registered here just to let you know I found a fix! In Lion I was able to select 'no notifications' (or something) in Calendar's Preferences but this setting is no longer there.

Anyway, to stop this from happening in Mountain Lion:

1) Open Calendar.app
2) in the left sidebar right click on the calendar that is triggering the Mail notifications
3) select 'Get Info'
4) and check 'Ignore alerts'

Done.

THANK YOU!!! This worked

Update: It's still doing it... :-( even though i checked all "Ignore" boxes.

Oh man. Sorry to hear it. I don't know what's going on. Mine has stopped. Can't vouch for them but perhaps you can try one of the solutions outlined here: http://superuser.com/questions/3371...ail-from-opening-because-of-ical-appointments. ...
