Comment 15 for bug 98625

I am running 7.10 and also still have this problem (had it in 7.04 too). I have found the only reliable way to get alarms is to forcibly shutdown the evolution components when restarting evolution. evolution --force-shutdown; evolution. If I do this, I seem to always get alarms and my appointment list for that day. I close evolution at the end of the day and when I start it again the next day, I run it with --force-shutdown first. Also, I would like to add that I had this problem with local calendar items too -- not just items in Exchange calendars. This is a serious usability issue.
