Set Reminders for Multiple Calenders

H

hhover

I recently upgraded to Office 2007, In Outlook 2003 I had multiple Calenders
in my profile, I had configured my main calender to automatically set a
reminders when a new item was posted, in the other calenders I configured
them NOT to set a reminder when posting. (I use some of the calenders to
track items after the event has occurred).
When I change the reminder options in 2007 it effects all calenders that I
have in my mailbox or pst files.
Does anyone know how to set the reminder options per calender in outlook
2007? Thank You

You can't.

In previous versions of Outlook reminders only fired from the default Inbox,
Calendar, Tasks and Contacts folders of the default mail store (mailbox or
PST file). In Outlook 2007 you get reminders from all mail, contacts,
calendar and tasks folders in your default store as well as from all loaded
PST files. Outlook 2007 doesn't fire reminders from delegate mailboxes or
Exchange public folders. However, there is no control over which folders in
the eligible stores will fire reminders, they all will.

Thank You,
I kinda figured that was the answer. Looks like I will have to go to the
wish list and request the feature of enabling or disabling reminders per
mailbox folder be added and hope to see it in a future release update.

Can anyone recommend a 3rd party add-in so that a delegate can receive
reminders?
Have been Googling and can't find anything for these 2 users.

Thanks.
