Send Mail Notifications for Calendar Events
A fellow Notes user was telling me today about how a web-based calendar he uses sends him text messages for calendar entries. Guess what? Notes can do that too!
On the top right corner of a calendar entry, select Notify me, or click on the Alarm icon.
The brings up the Alarm Notification Options dialog. At the bottom you can click "Send mail notification" and enter the email address for your phone.
I don't have a use for this feature, since my Notes calendar automatically synchronizes with my phone/blackberry, but in case you need it, the feature is there.
UPDATE: Reader Philip Jensen pointed out to me that in order for this to work, your Notes client must be running. That makes sense, since the sending of the email is tied into the clients alarm function. Thanks Philip, I appreciate the information.
