Remarks

Calendar of a Lotus Notes or Outlook messaging

When creating an appointment with reminder in Outlook, the reminder is immediately displayed regardless of the appointment date.
The added appointments are "meeting" appointments (instead of "appointment" appointments). To change the type of appointment, modify the "AppointmentType" control of the new appointment (with NotesModifyItem, for example).
The different possible values for the types are as follows:
- "0": appointment
- "1": anniversary
- "2": event
- "3": meeting
- "4": reminder
Example:
NotesModifyItem(ID, "AppointmentType", "0")
In Outlook, the management mode of contacts/participants can be specified when starting the session (EmailStartOutlookSession or OutlookStartSession).
