How to prevent iCal from sending emails?

iCal Reply Checker is updated for OS X 10.6 now.


Almost 4 years and 4 major OS releases later and the problem still exists (as far as I can tell). How is it Apple hasn't fixed this yet?

Anyway my (free) workaround is to temporarily disable networking while accepting an invite. Specifically, I created another network location called "None" without any configured interfaces, then to accept an invite without sending a response:

  1. switch network location to "None" (click the apple icon in the menu bar -> Location -> None)
  2. accept the event
  3. wait for the response to show up in Mail's outbox
  4. delete it from the outbox
  5. switch back to original network location

Ugly, but it works...


I use iCal and i don't get email notifications. Are you sure there isn't a setting in the preferences to disable that?
