From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-13 i686) Description of problem: If you enter a calendar item with an email reminder, you won't get the email reminder sent to you unless the gnomecal GUI is running when its time to send the reminder. This more-or-less neuters the appeal of using the gnomecal application to maintain your calendar. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enter appointment with email reminder 2.Close gnomecal application 3.Wait until appointed time Actual Results: No email reminder is sent. Expected Results: Email reminder should be sent Additional info: If you leave the gnomecal GUI running, the email reminder does get sent. But it is problematic whether or not the gnomecal GUI will be running at the proper time, leading to lots of missed appointments.
We are moving to Evolution as the suggested calendar app, so work isn't being invested in gnome-pim. The next release will have Evolution.
