Completely disable calendar

[postboxinc]

Is there a way for me, as a user, to simply say “No thanks, do nothing with calendar invites or anything calendar-related”?

I already have a working calendar setup, and the way eM Client interferes with incoming emails that include calendar invites just causes unnecessary problems.

Also, why can’t I choose what happens when I open a .ics (calendar) file? eM Client overrides the system default and opens its own calendar dialog instead. This forces me to save the file to disk and manually open it through a file browser just to use my preferred app. Why not just respect that some users don’t want to use the calendar feature in eM Client?

All I want is a solid, reliable email client—nothing more.

Also a frustrating thing is that invites from Microsoft user has no .cal file attached so I cant even save that to disk to open later. Then i need to go to gmail on the web where the file and invite is properly handled. So, it clearly can be done, emClient just does not handle Microsoft invites correctly.

Open .ics calendar files with external Mac OS Calendar | Calendar | eM Client

There is a way you can currently add them to the Apple iCal when you get a .ics Calendar invite as @asn advised in his post below on that topic.

Support for .ics files into calendar

[Disclaimer: I might have fiddled with some settings to get this to work. I don’t remember…] I open an e-mail with a .ics attachment. Then I left-click on the attachment. I get a drop-down like this partial screenshot: [Screenshot 2568-03-11 at 21.08.50] I click “Open” and a window pops up, similar to this partial screenshot: [Screenshot 2568-03-11 at 21.10.03] I click on “Calendar \/” and I see the same calendars that I see if I open macos Calendar. I can edit the meeting parameters in t…

I don’t have that issue from other friends Microsoft Outlook or Gmail Calendar invitations, so could be your senders Calendar just eg: dont provide the cal .ics file when the invitations are sent to you.
