Oh yeah. I have been trying to find a suitable reminder replacement for Outlook. I have gone through a few different programs I don't seem to care for. I am looking for a replacement because I don't like having Outlook open all the time, or I may forget to start it up when the system is booted. Also, having it open and even suppressing send/recieve dialog, it continues to display gosh darnit! Very annoying druing gameplay cause it wants to take focus.
So, today, I thought why not see if it can be made to a TrueLaunchBar plugin?!?! It would fit right in just nicely with all the other great plugins. I came across this post and figured To do list, Calendar, and reminder seem to fall within one category.
What I was originally thinking it could do (and already stated here) was to pull the information from Outlook itself without Outlook running. That way everything is in one location--Outlook. True, not everyone uses Outlook, so perhaps there could be an option to embed Outlook or have a standalone to-do list/calendar/reminder.
Personally, I really like having everything in one spot, specifically Outlook. This is one reason I do not really want to move to a 3rd party program for reminders, but I really am annoyed with the send receive dialog popping-up every now and then and I forget to open Outlook and the time passes through my reminder and I'm not reminded.
So far, xReminder looks like my best solution so far.
