That's fine in theory, but my calender often "forgets" to remind me ;-)

That is, I set an alarm and then no reminder pops up at the set time. 
Specifically, it seems that unless I visit my calender I get no reminders,
then when I open calender view the "forgotten" reminders pop up.  Since I 
stay in mail view 99.995 of the time this next to useless.  Shouldn't the
reminders pop up over my mail view as well?
