I use Thunderbird for my e-mail on my home computer. The mail passes through the university server, however, which uses MS Outlook. Somehow, the Notifications flag on the latter got turned on, giving Outlook permission to read my mail and notify me of upcoming events. "You're flying to Seattle tomorrow!" was not too bad; I just deleted it. But today, I received a message: "Your bill with :company: is due in a couple of days!" But a) I paid that bill a week ago, and b) if I had not paid it, :company: would have given me a noodge by now.
This service, I do not need. It took me a while to find the appropriate settings page, but I have turned it off. I think. I hope. I still don't know how it got turned on.
