I have an MS exchange account configured in evolution on a daily-updated dapper install. I do not get any alarm notifications for my calendar appointments, despite alarms being set for them. Clicking on the clock applet should list my appointments. However, only appointments on my "On This Computer" Personal calendar are shown.

evolution-data-server 1.6.1
Comment 1 Poornima 2006-05-19 03:59:56 UTC 
changing component to 'Connector' as it is issue with exchange calendar.
Comment 2 Daniel Holbach 2006-07-13 11:37:18 UTC 
Further Ubuntu bug comment: "I've discovered recently that appointements and alarm notifications work if and only if I have evolution save my password, which happens to be a security violation at my institution. The desired behavior would be to have them work after supplying the password, even if it is not saved."
Comment 3 Sushma Rai 2006-07-28 08:30:38 UTC 
Yes. As of not alarms work only if the passwords are remembered for
accounts which requires authentication.

General Evolution bug, not specific to Exchange backend.

Changing the summary and moving it to Evolution - Calendar.

This is very much Not Fun when combined with bug #328865, which has kept me from letting evolution save my sExchange password for the last year...
Comment 5 Matthew Barnes 2012-06-10 14:25:21 UTC 
This is fixed by the account management rewrite for Evolution 3.5.3.

Password prompting is now centralized in the evolution-source-registry D-Bus service.  All client programs, whether a full application like Evolution or just a background service like evolution-alarm-notify, can now trigger password prompts as needed.

Closing as FIXED.
