You don't like a clutter free Taskbar? What is the difference between
getting an individual pop-up or a pop-up with an overview in relation to
missing meetings?

Anyway, you can't change it back to pre 2000 style. Note that they changed
it in Outlook 2002 already.

It's one of my favorite features...I hated all the individual ones in
2000...with 2003 you can just close the whole thing down...or snooze them
separately...i do a lot of snoozing :-)

We just upgraded our version and we have discovered this change.

I want to let you know that I relied heavily on the pop up individual window
reminders. I juggle numerous “global†events which require numerous
deadlines. As part of my workflow I used the “individual reminders†tool
constantly and it kept me on top of pending global deadlines. Now I have to
assess whether we should use another program to streamline my workflow or
have the old version installed back on my computer. I would prefer to use
the “new and improved†version… J

Please pass on my comments? Also, I would be interested to find out how
other users are overcoming this challenge of not being able to have
individual reminders anymore and what they are doing to overcome this
challenge?
Help needed?
