Can you check if evolution-alarm-notify has the ~ "same" time stamp as
evolution-mail on your system? Just as an indicator they come from the
same compile.

To bad, for me, there is a special function which runs at midnight. Even
it looks ok and works for me, but your system doesn't seem to use it. Or
do you close down after midnight.

Ok seems it not the problem I stumbled on to.

It's a long shot anyway, just in case there is problem.

I will send you one. Problem is I thought I could use mine with the
debug code still in it, but I have a special version, which can send
reminders via email. Maybe not a good idea to mix your problem with a
none standard installation.  I will create a clean one next week, do you
want a binary or can you compile your own, i.e. recompile evolution?
