Public bug reported: I am using Evolution 2.28.3 which was installed with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. When I execute 'apt-cache policy evolution', I get 'evolution: Installed: 2.28.3-0ubuntu10.3'
In my contacts, I have entered birthdays and anniversaries. These events show on the Birthday & Anniversary calendar. In my efforts to get the reminders to work, I also added some of these events to the Personal calendar. In Edit/preferences/alarms, I have both calendars checked, and have tried "Display alarms in notification area only" checked and unchecked. I am still not getting any reminders/alarms/sound/pop-up/notification/etc. I have noticed that Evo calendar on the left side has the dates for these events in italics, and that the date/time applet has these dates in bold font (neither of which is very noticeable - a change in font color would be better). Also, when I open an event in the personal calendar and make it "all day" and save, then open again, the changes are not saved. Lastly, since I have not seen a reminder, where is the "notification area"? Besides the calendar "reminders, et al" I would also like to have an email sent to me. What do I need to do to get these to work?
