Why do I get loads of alarms / reminders for past events?

1

I am running eM Client 5 (latest build) against OS X Server (10.8 / server 2.2.2). I have calendar and tasks CalDAV accounts setup. Whenever I start eM Client I get a string of reminders for past events that have already been dismissed / marked as done on my Mac or iOS device. When I try and just close the dialogue, or use Dismiss All, I get a spate of dialogue boxes saying that there is a mismatch between the local event and the server. I have to use ‘Overwrite local’ to clear these. It seems to me this is a mis-behaviour on the part of eM Client. It seems like when it starts up it is not waiting for CalDAV initial sync to complete before deciding what event reminders/alarms to display. As you can imagine this is really very annoying. Can this be fixed? If not could we have a configuration option to always use ‘Overwrite local’ without prompting the user (since the 'server is always correct on my case at least)?

Thanks, that is good to know. No other client I am using (Apple iCal / Reminders, iOS Calendar / Reminders) exhibits this behaviour so it will be frat to get a solution for eM Client too. I have several Windows users and they find this extremely annoying.

I should be able to provide exact answer tomorrow, but I can’t promise it.
