I get an excessive number of email reminders sent from Calendar when I have it enabled for my Google Calendar account. When I set a reminder on a Google Calendar event, Google properly sends me one email for events for which I choose to get an email. But Calendar on macOS sends me many, often sending 2 with the same time stamp, and even sometimes sends emails after the event has ended. How do I stop these?

  • Did you check the event itself in Calendar, see if it's piled up an irregular list of alerts/emails. Sometimes if you move an event, it will generate spurious alerts.

  • This happens with every event, actually

  • Yes, I've checked the event that caused the most recent flurry of alerts

Here's how to stop the Calendar app from sending you alerts for your Google Calendar events:

  • Open the calendar list on the left hand side of the Calendar app's UI
  • Right click on the calendar you're getting extra alerts for
  • Click "Get Info"
  • Check the box that says "Ignore alerts"
