Can you post the title/date of one of these events. The backup servers definitely don't have outward facing emails.

Also: Did you have any other calendar accounts that you asked to be removed (that might be sending these events?)

Two more again today. Seriously, you need to fix this. We've been using you for years but this may drive us away...

Sorry, didn't see your last post was on a diff page.

Here are the headers from today's doubles:
[NSWOW] Reminder from localendar.com : Pick up Ride! at 6:30 PM Aug 9, 2012

[NSWOW] Reminder from localendar.com : Sue Lazy Lion Dinner Ride! at 6:00 PM Aug 9, 2012

You can see one was a generic pickup-ride placeholder, the other was the updated-with-details version. Only the updated version appears on the calendar.

I can forward them both to you if there is embedded info that will help. Just tell me where to forward it.

Ah-ha!

The "reminders for deleted events" was actually a red herring. The "Pick up ride" event was actually not deleted.

What I discovered is that it is still in the database. It had been edited so that every date is *should* have appeared was actually added to the skip-list of that event. This is different than actually clicking the Delete button on an event.

The event doesnt appear on your calendar *not* b/c it was deleted, but because every occurrence is 'skipped' due to how it was saved.

What this led me to uncover is that certain events with a "skip list" were still getting reminders even on their skip dates. That's fixed - and I believe that is the actual solution to your issue. I should have asked for samples in the first place.

As an aside, if you want to delete an event, you should click the Delete button on the Event Editor.

I feel I should be happy but i'm confused :p

You are correct, the initial event (a placeholder for the date) was edited with the correct final information and Updated. But none of those events have a "repeat" or "skip list" set on them, so how did it get saved with skip lists?

Also, is this something you need to clean up in the database, or is there something I should do? When I edit the event the only info on it is the date, image, and email address/date to send. Should I just delete all the events and do them over to be safe?

Hopefully this will be the last exchange we'll need, thanks for your help :)

The event you sent me definitely had recurrence set up - and it also had dates to skip. We didn't put them there smile

Reminders should ignore skipped events - so if it happens again (or already has with other events on your calendar) then you shouldn't get any emails. You don't need to take any further action.
