        Hi,
you can fake evolution by setting proper keys in GConf, in
   /apps/evolution/calendar/sources
each <source> element may have a "last-notified" property with a value
of date/time when was the last alarm notification done. An example value
looks like this:
   <property name="last-notified" value="2011-10-21T00:00:00Z"/>
which is supposed to be under <properties> element. The thing is that
the above GConf key consists of a list of XML blobs, each describing
group of sources. It's easy to break the structure.

Note that there had been done some changes for 3.2.1 with this last
notification. See [1] for more details.
        Bye,
        Milan
