iCal sending decline e-mails when it purges old calendar entries I have iCal version 4.0.4.  I have enabled the "Delete events 30 days after they have passed" preference option.  When iCal purges these events, it is sending a decline e-mail to the event organizer.

Is there a way to stop iCal from sending decline e-mails when it automatically purges calendar entries?
I turned off my internet connection. Declined(works for Accept as well) the invites in iCal.

iCal sends the messages to your email client. I deleted them from the Mail/Outbox manually.

Then I turned the wifi card back on.

Done.
