Boxer Apps (Google Apps) and Boxer Mail (Gmail) Frequently Asked Questions

Boxer Apps and Boxer Mail are web apps available to Pacific account holders via our Google Workspace for Education account.

Q: How do I stop items being added to my calendar based on emails I receive?

A: Do the following:

  1. Go to your Google Calendar settings.
  2. Go to the Event Settings section (see navigation bar on the left)
  3. Find the setting called "Add invitations to my calendar"
  4. If you want invitations to only show up on your calendar when you have seen them in your email and RSVPd, choose "When I respond to the invitation in email" from the pull down.
  5. If you want invitations to only show up on your calendar if they are from people you have interacted with before or are Pacific people, choose "Only if the sender is known."
  6. After choosing either of these options, you can optionally uncheck "Let others see all invitations if they have permission to view or edit my events" if you don't want people with shared access to your calendars to see potential spam invites.
  7. Note that changing the above settings will change how legitimate (non-spam) calendar invites show up, and are visible to others, in your calendar.
