Setting the reminder time after start time of event

[hacori]

I'm missing the possibility to set the reminder time after the start time of
an event or on the same the as a full day event - particularely for synching
with my Pocket PC.

Recently, I was reminded of a birthday. The birthday was on 9th november but
the reminder appeared at 23:45 - meaning 15 minutes before the beginning of
the day ..... this is absolutely useless. And in Outlook Mobile it's not even
possible to let the reminder reappear after let's say 8 or 12 hours.

As an example, to clarify:
There's a full day event in my town on a Saturday. I set the start and and
time of this event but because I need to do some shopping first (or because I
want to sleep longer) I want to set the reminder one hour after the actual
start time of the event ..... unfortunately there's no such possibility.

I know that this is not possible at the moment. But I really hope that one
day this issue will be changed in a new software version (at least for
Outlook Mobile).

if you need a reminder, make it for a specific time, such as 1 hr after you
need the reminder. If the initial reminder fires the day before, you could
snooze the reminder for xx hours, so it re-triggers after the event starts.

Thanks for the suggestion. In fact, I knew about these possibilities.
However, that's not really how I would want it to be. And as mentioned below,
in Outlook Mobile the snooze function doesn't give many options - only 1 hour
or 1 day (nothing in between).

Well, I guess that my wish won't come true because probably nobody else
conciders this a helpful option.

By the way, with Lotus Notes I do have the possibility to set the reminder
after the start time, but unfortunately the synchronization with Pocket PC's
doesn't work or only with another mail/calender software.
