Mobile Apps - 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.
Outlook removes alarms on sync Mobile Apps I created some appointments with alarms on my mobile device yesterday. I connected it to my PC today with Outlook open on the PC (I think it should really be called LookOut!) and I watched in disgust as, while it was syncing, all those alarms were removed. This, frankly, is pathetic software. I did not ask it to remove those alarms, it just did it all by itself without so much as a by your leave doing so - or is there another reason why they produce software this bad?

Pocket Outlookmostly they are the same in content, pocket outlook and Mobile Apps Pocket Outlookmostly they are the same in content, pocket outlook and pc outlook. you should give it a try. nonMVP, huangyz I'm a user of Outlook on the desktop both at home and at work, and I want to use it doing to better manage my time. I'm considering getting a PocketPC specifically for Pocket Outlook so I can sync the two together. What are peoples experiences of using Pocket Outlook with desktop Outlook. In my experience of using PIM software I've often found that a lot of client is not support on the mobile client. I'm sort of hoping that Pocket Outlook / Outlook 2003 will be able to contain the same information. Mark PocketPC Discussions Outlook (1
