This is a collection of tools for the Microsoft Outlook Calendar folder that are used for reminder management. Many of these reminder tools send the reminders to an email address, cell phone, or pager.
One notable exception is Reminder Manager and Extended Reminders, both of which allow you to set reminders in any folder (pre-Outlook 2007 versions) and replaces Outlook's reminder dialog with a more powerful screen.

Hi

Thanks
Hello Diane,
We have multiple calendar appointments/events in outlook 2013 for various scheduled activities (patching,upgrades etc). We manually send mails for these events one day in advance.Can this be somehow automated ?
hi Diane i have a attorney friend looking to have his calendar notify him of upcoming events either by email, or calendar notification. he would like there to be multiple reminders such example 1 yr from now 3 months prior and 2 days prior all for one event with out making individual reminders maybe some type of reminder profile example statue of limitations to remind him the last day to file would be final reminder a 2 weeks prior reminder, 3 months prior reminder all with out manually inputting, maybe like a profile called statue of limitations reminders and it presets these reminders. is this possible. he uses outlook 2016 has icloud calendar plug in outlook. also any advise to a practice management software geared to law firms
This is not supported in outlook and can only be done "manually" - when the first reminder goes off, reset it for the next period.
There are quite a few practice management softwares available. one client uses practicemaster but is not all that happy with it. Others use time matters and prolaw and seem to like them.
Are there any Calendar Reminders that are free? I've missed a few meetings already after we switched to Outlook 2013 from GroupWise and would like to prevent this in the future without having to pay out of pocket.
Reminder Manager has a free version.I take that back... it doesn't have a free version. :( Sorry, if none of the utilities on this page are free, then no, I don't know of any.No we are not syncing with any device for this account and we are using smtp.
Does it happen if you start outlook in Safe mode?
I'll see what I can find out. I'm not familiar with any other complaints so its hard to say if its unique to your situation or rare bug.
I'm close to screaming.. I'm using Outlook 2007 and I'm missing important calendar entries because I don't get the entry emailed to me. Is this only possible with Outlook 2010 or the free Google Calendar? :-/.
I really like my Outlook calendar.
Outlook (the desktop client) doesn't include an option to email reminders, but you can do it with addins or reminders. Outlook.com, microsoft's counterpart to gmail and yahoo, has an option to email reminders.
When accepting an invitation from others it creates multiple remiders (more than 5 times) on outlook 2010 but when I create an invitation on my calendar it creates only 1. I have tried /cleanreminders switch and used mfcmapi to delete the whole reminder folder to create it but the issue still exist. Can you please suggest what else I can try. Thanks
What type of email account using? Are you syncing with any devices?
