Is 'Snooze' time synced?

Asked By Terry Pinnell
13-Nov-09 03:04 AM
On my PPC (an HTC Touch Pro 2) I got a pop-up window when an Outlook
2002 task (entered on my PC) reached its reminder time. Unfortunately
it only offers 'Dismiss' or 'Snooze', and the latter is a fixed, short
time, about 5 minutes. So, I clicked Snooze anyway, then in Outlook
2002 changed the reminder time to about 8 hours later today. I cradled
my PPC, and clicked Sync in AS just in case. But I am still getting the
messages on my PPC every 5 minutes.

Can I conclude from this that there is no syncing or integration of the
two snooze times? If so, seems a very obvious design flaw!

Presumably I have to click Dismiss instead of Snooze, which does not
seem intuitive to me. Makes me worry that I will never get a warning on
the PPC at the later time...

The snooze time is not synced between the devices.  I think the design
decision assumes that different people will be dealing with the two
alarms (e.g. mobile user and his/her secretary/assistant at the desktop)
and might each have a different method of reaction to the alarm.

In your case, the appropriate action would be to "dismiss" the alarm, and
the edited/newly synced task reminder time should create a new alarm at
the appropriate time.
