Task Reminders Don't Work
in [General]
|
From: Christine on 22 Mar 2010 12:50 Please see e-mail string below. I tried the outlook.exe /cleanreminders in the run program after not having any luck with outlook / clean reminders. I still cannot get a task reminder to come up with a reminder even though I have designated a time and checked the box. When the appointed reminder time has passed, I look at the reminder again and the box is no longer checked. I am frustrated!!! My task folder is listed on the left-hand side: mail, calendar, contacts, tasks. I have never moved the folder to another location. Any other suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

From: Christine on 22 Mar 2010 15:20 Hi Diane: No, they are not recurring tasks, but are brand-new (i.e., get a boarding pass for a flight on a certain day). I'm not dismissing them at all because they never appear. After trying the 2 solutions given to me earlier, I did a test reminder today, checked the box and prayed that it would come up in 10 minutes. It did not. I open the task back up and the box was not checked! It is frustrating!! But I appreciate any and all help!! "Christine" wrote: > Please see e-mail string below.

From: Christine on 22 Mar 2010 16:13 After clicking Ctrl and 6, I have one task folder (icon is a red check mark on a clipboard) and it is located under my personal mailbox list that also has attachments, calendar, contacts, inbox, junk e-mail, sent, sync issues, tasks). Thank you for continuing to help me! "Christine" wrote: > Please see e-mail string below.
