Reminders won't work

[Michele]

I am trying to set up certain appointments in my home computer so that I will have reminders pop up. However, each time I hit save and close on an appointment, I get a pop up that states "reminder for 'blah" will not appear because the item is not in your Calendar or Tasks Folder". What does this mean? I"m saving an appointment just like I do at work, any ideas on why it doesn't work at home? I've gone through the help files and this issue doesn't come up anywhere

Thanks, Michele

It means that, if you want reminders, you need to be putting the items in
the Calendar and Tasks folder that's in the same folder hierarchy as your
Inbox.
