MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / June 2005add e-mail notification to outlook calendar appointments/meetings
I've been waiting ten years for this option to be added. It seems so simple and should be a no-brainer. People are not always at their computer when an appointment comes due. The ability to send an e-mail (to any valid e-mail address) would allow them to get the reminder on a cell phone, via a webmail account, on a PDA/pager etc. The little pop-up window is nice but is only useful if you are at your computer. If you're at your computer then you can look at your days' schedule directly... Besides, Lotus Notes has it :-) It you want to do a one-up on Notes, provide the option to e-mail an entire range of the schedule. Suppose I'm out of towm for a week and I want my daily schedule e-mailed to me every morning... There are several tools that will do this for you. http://www.slipstick.com/addins/calendar.htm#remind  SignaturePatricia Cardoza Outlook MVP Author - Special Edition Using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Lead Author - Access 2003 VBA Programmer's Reference Author - Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft OneNote 2003 http://blogs.officezealot.com/cardoza http://www.cardozasolutions.com > I've been waiting ten years for this option to be added.

I think this is a good suggestion that will take very little effort to implement. I'm a little baffled that you would point me to third party solutions that may, or may not, work with future versions of Outlook. I was making a suggestion, not looking for an immediate fix. I know there are add-ons that can provide this fucntionality. I was simply suggesting that you might want to include it as a new feature in upcoming versions... > There are several tools that will do this for you. > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > > > http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?mid=44bcc25b-b129-4 a05-9bee-06060bf8da6f&dg=microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring I don't work for Microsoft. Your post made no mention of the fact that you knew of third party tools. I simply wanted to point you in the direction of said tools in case you didn't know of them.
