Why didn't I receive my reminder?

The most common reasons for not receiving reminders or receiving them at the wrong time are as follows:

  1. Time Settings. Ensure that Time Zone and Daylight Savings Time is set correctly in calendar preferences. Click Options to check.
  2. Less than 15 minutes notice. Reminders must be set at least 15 minutes before the time the reminder would be sent. For example, let's say you schedule a meeting for today at 3:00pm and it is currently 2:20pm in your time zone. If you set a reminder for 30 minutes, the reminder (for 2:30pm) will not be sent because it is less than 15 minutes from when you set the reminder.
  3. Email Delivery. Many email systems are set to poll or check for mail on a fixed schedule. If you only receive new email every 30 minutes, reminders set for less than 30 minutes before an event may arrive late.
