QUESTION :
When I’m adding a new event to Windows Live Mail calendar, I don’t see an “alarm” option.
I’ve read somewhere I need to be signed in to windows live for it to be available, but I’m using it just for another POP3 account.
How do I add an alarm to a new event?
ANSWER :
For now, sign up for a Windows Live Hotmail account. Then you can synchronize your alerts from Hotmail, Check out http://alerts.live.com/alerts/Default.aspx
