There's even a tie-in to the Gnome menu-bar date display so that alarm
popups happen even if evolution isn't open. I'm not sure how reliable
it is now. I used it for a while with the exchange connector, but quit
some time ago when the connector broke in an update. Evolution has its
own calendar but I needed access to the group calendar on an exchange
server and set something else up.
