I would be disappointed if I e.g. buy a plane ticket or a ticket to a show and the event is not added to my calendar. (and you never know the email that a show ticket will come from; so I can't add it to my address book) As an alternative, could you just have it so if I mark an email as spam, any calendar events from it are deleted from my calendar?

Luckily you can turn on "live dangerously" mode if you want - and besides the email arrives straight to your mailbox (unless marked spam) and has a button right there to add it to your calendar. We think the default is the right balance for most people, and provide easy knobs to adjust the settings if you want. Right now marking the email spam doesn't find the related calendar events. There's some design work to be done there around user interface when marking emails as spam in bulk (particularly with support for undo and rolling back the calendar changes which isn't as simple as just applying the attached event again, because you may have updated the calendar event since)

  For events from spam emails that got updated, it might be worth to investigate if you could ask the user; "You marked an email as spam but an event was imported from it that you updated, Keep/Update/Delete?"

I have the opposite problem. So many times I buy a ticket and there is not a single "add to calendar" button. I don't even ask for an auto-add. Just a button. But apparently this is one of the most forgotten feature ever. Either devs don't think about it, or they tested it and it confused the non tech-saavy users so much they decided against it. I can imagine the later very well, though. My mother would click and the setup for a calendar she doesn't have would start, loosing her the process.
