Where did you see that? It probably needs some changes. C-h v appt-display-interval RET says ,---- | appt-display-interval is a variable defined in `appt.el'. | Its value is 3 | | Documentation: | Interval in minutes at which to display appointment reminders. | Once an appointment becomes due, Emacs displays reminders every | `appt-display-interval' minutes. You probably want to make | `appt-message-warning-time' be a multiple of this, so that you get | a final message displayed precisely when the appointment is due. | | Note that this variable controls the interval at which | `appt-display-message' is called. The mode line display (if active) | always updates every minute. `---- > I guess I'll just send the appt-display-interval to 11 minutes or > something like that.

Nick PS A propos of nothing, one strangeness that I have observed is that at least the *final* notification (and maybe all of them) is one minute late, but I haven't chased it down yet.
