Windows Mobile SNOOZE Function

mstamper · 03-22-05, 04:50 PM

Am I the only one who misses the ability to "snooze until 5 minutes before meeting" or 10 minutes or 15 minutes before the meeting start time?

Outlook does this - why not Windows Mobile? I thought for SURE Pocket Informant would do this - but if it does I cannot figure it out!

Are there any third part products that allow this type of functionality?

No- this is not what I want - I want to hit SNOOZE and then be given the option to snooze:

5 minutes BEFORE start of the meeting
10 minutes BEFORE start of the meeting
15 minutes BEFORE start of the meeting
5 minutes
10 minutes
15 minutes
etc...

If my meeting is at 10am and the notice pops up at 9am I want to be able to snooze, with one click, until 5/10/15 minutes (9:45/50/55am) before the meeting, just like in Outlook on the computer.

Maybe I don't understand something, but when you set a reminder, a popup appears and gives you an option to dismiss or snooze, doesn't it?

If Jukov's answer doesn't give you what you need, then I am afraid that I do not understand your question either.

I can snooze when a reminder pops up.

Guys, it isn't hard.

Think about Outlook for the desktop computer. When you get a reminder, you can either:
dismiss altogether, or
choose to snooze for 5 min, 10 min, etc. OR
snooze until a certain time (5 min, etc.) BEFORE the start of the appointment, which you had already specified when you set the appointment up.

This feature exists on the full Outlook and like mstamper, I also miss it.

You can snooze - but you cannot choose HOW LONG to snooze for.. That's the issue. And most of the PIM applications rely on the WM2003 notification database so have the same "feature"

Uh, I have Pocket Informant installed and any alarm let's me choose how long to snooze for.

I also use Pocket Informant and I have no problem "snoozing" for a certain period of time. I haven't ever used the built-in Calendar program, but PI works like Outlook on a PC.

This is what I am talking about. YES, I can manually say "snooze for 53 minutes" if my meeting starts in 53 minutes - but, I want the SOFTWARE to calculate it for me- if I say "snooze 5/10/15 minutes BEFORE MEETING START TIME" I want the SOFTWARE to then calculate the amount of time remainging from when I hit the snooze button to the start of the meeting. If my meeting starts at 9am and I get to the snooze button at 8:15am I want to just tell the software "Snooze until 5 minutes before the meeting" and it would then figure out that it needed to remind me again at 8:55am. I do not want to have to figure it out that I need a 40 minute snooze.

Outlook on the PC does this exact functionality TODAY.

Ah, I see. No software I know of does this. Might want to brush up on mental arithmetic. :approve:

Yeah - thanks a bunch... Very helpful...

I detect sarcasm... :hide:

If you still prefer getting software to do it, consider submitting a feature request with Pocket Informant, or your favorite PIM. That's all I can really think of that can possibly get what you want. I'm sorry that this irks you so much?

I have submitted it to the PI forum at WormHole creations.

Or I can just "do the math"
