Dear Mr. Tillman:
One can indeed change the reminder of one's own all-day appointments to a
more suitable advance notice, or disabled default reminders altogether, but
for the users in my organization, most of whom use Windows Mobile devices, it
is too much to ask for the to change the reminder of every all-day meeting
request they receive as well!

Especially since they are not even given the option to change it in the
invitation e-mail. They would have to accept the invitation, then go to the
calendar, open the same item again and then change the reminder.

Microsoft's combination of...
1. Enabling default reminders by default [sic]
2. Allowing for the user's changing of only one out of two default reminder
times
3. Allowing the meeting organizer's reminder setting to override the
invitee's default preference without any visual cues or an easy way to change
said reminder when receiving the invite
4. Choosing to set the almost idotic hard coded default reminder to 06:00
(-18 h) for an all-day appointment
5. Not hearing user complaints for the last, say, five years
....is quite depressing for its customers.

Especially for the ones using Windows Mobile and getting woken up by
reminders for appointments they did not even organize.

Sincerely,
Jonas

How hard can it be to fix the reminder time and not just accept the default?
