VCalendar can export meetings to an external webcal, look in plugin
preferences.

That is unfortunate. Does that happen also in 32-bit version of Claws
Mail? Currently, there is no technical reason to use the 64-bit version
except if you have some VCalendar meetings planned many, many years into
the future.

Does it happen with VCalendar plugin unloaded? Does it happen in the
32-bit version?

Sorry to hear that. If you could nevertheless find time to do above
tests, I would appreciate it.
