Whenever a notification pops up that is coming from an ICS-based calendar that is synced to eM Client, you cannot dismiss the notification, with eM Client simply giving an error that the calendar is read only. Is there any workaround for this issue while the development team attempts to patch the bug?
Unfortunately you canât dismiss reminders for read-only calendars, because you canât write the change back to the calendar.
In version 10.1 we are able to detect some read-only folders, so reminders wonât be shown for them. If you are using an older version, or the folder canât be detected as read-only, you will need to disable reminders yourself. You do that by right-click on that calendar folder and choose Properties. Untick the option to Show reminders. You can also click on Repair > Repair to clear any pending changes.
Thank you for the reply, Gary. Iâm running v10.1, but unfortunately, the issue with dismissing the reminder still seems to be occurring, and instructions you provided for manually disabling the reminders do not function because eM Client doesnât allow toggling the âShow remindersâ setting on the calendar (even after attempting to âRepairâ the calendar):
May I ask why you are trying to write any change back to the calendar regarding the reminder on internet calendars? All of the other tools I use that read ICS calendars simply dismiss the local copy of the reminder, requiring no interaction whatsoever with the internet calendar itself.
Hello,
did you find any Solution to the âShow remindersâ being greyed out?
Unfortunately, no. ICS calendars are still very broken in eM Client (canât handle reminders properly, or even handle recurring tasks), and fixing the ICS handling code doesnât seem to be on the developersâ radar. If you need full, proper ICS support, youâll need to stick with another email client.
