Notifications from Shared Calendar
kathy2343 - this should be a checkbox in the Delegate Settings of your husband's outlook account. By default now, when sharing a calendar with "full" permissions this checkbox seems to be turned on - which is super annoying if you only want access but not every reminder...
> From his Outlook: File / Account Settings / Delegate Access
> A Delegates box will open, you should be listed in there; click on your name and then click Permissions.
> A dialog box will open, and UNCHECK the box that says "delegate receives copies of meeting-related messages sent to me"
Hope that helps!

Thanks, Wonkydonkey. That was a great suggestion, but I checked and there are no delegate functions set up. The calendar is simply shared with me, with "can edit" permission. I still get occasional notifications for his calendar that I don't need to see--just one more thing to swipe away among all the spam etc. Sigh.
I've had this exact problem with my husband's calendar, read tons of 'advice' etc online and nothing worked - but what DOES seem to have worked is that I got my husband to log into 365 and go into his outlook calendar settings, where I was set as 'can view and edit' or something - NOT delegate (so therefore no way to switch that setting off for me either). But I think what had happened is that when updates have been made to outlook over time, the settings for shared calendars have changed, so that I had been given delegate access (even though I didn't want it/wasn't actually set up for it in the new system) which means getting his reminders etc. So what I did was switch his shared calendar settings for me to delegate, then switched back to 'can view and edit' only, this seems to have reset the settings and switched off the delegate settings that must have been on somewhere in the background previously. I haven't received a calendar notification since, and I was getting them multiple times a day! I hope that helps for anyone out there!!!
I have this problem as well. But the solution that you mention here doesn't work for me. So, I am getting reminders of my wife's calendar that I cannot dismiss.
So, I logged into my wife's account:
This is the current setting.
These are my options.
I switched to "Can view all details", got an E-mail that my wife changed her settings and I can now view all details. Then switched back again. Unfortunately, even after restarting Outlook, this issue keeps returning.
So, I get reminders from my wife's calendar that I cannot dismiss. Reminders from my own calendar can easily be dismissed.
kathy2343 Dang! Sorry it didn't work.
