Reminder Notifications

[Guest]

Issue:
Outlook only gives you the option to select which sound file you would like
played whenever an scheduled appointment or meeting has occured. Of course,
the original pop-up on your screen.

Suggestion:
Would it be possible to have a range of listed notification methods
developed into Outlook. IE. Send an e-mail, page, run an application etc.
Majority of the folks I have spoken to in my office feel that such a feature
would be useful. Especially, if you are in another meeting, at lunch or away
from your office. Having a list of other notification/reminder options would
provide the user additional advantages.

There are third party tools for this type of thing - see these pages:
