How does Outlook handle old recurring reminders?
- by Zian Choy
Context:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit edition
Microsoft Office 2007 Outlook
Steps to Reproduce:
Make an event that recurs once a week.
Wait a week.
See that it pops up OK.
Wait a month.
Notice that it doesn't say that it is a month overdue.
Expected Result:
The usual note that the reminder is [x] weeks overdue.
Actual Result:
Something like "6 days overdue".
Possible Excaberating Issue:
I have many overdue reminders. For the ones that aren't time critical (and all other things being equal), I work by category and age. For example, I do health-related reminders when I'm doing health stuff; if I have 2 health-related reminders, I do the older one first.
Big Question:
How is Outlook supposed to handle this sort of overdue recurring reminder? Is there any way to get Outlook to act the way I expect it to?
