Description

After upgrading to Nextcloud 28 I get a notification in the Nextcloud Web interface for all calendar events with notifications. As I use Thunderbird instead of the Web interface for interacting with the Nextcloud calendars, I find this quite annoying. It would be great if the possibility to disable calendar event notifications could be added to the personal notification settings:

Research direction

Start by tracing how calendar event notifications reach the Nextcloud Web interface and how personal notification settings are defined. The issue names no files or tests, so first locate those entry points and review the existing notification preferences. Done means an account can disable calendar event notifications without affecting other notification types.
