Kerio Connect Client can remind you about:

• Upcoming events and tasks using reminders
• New emails, new chat messages, and upcoming events and tasks using desktop notifications or pop-up notifications, depending on your browser

Event and task reminders in Kerio Connect Client 8.4 and newer

Kerio Connect Client can display reminders for your calendar events and tasks in the top bar.

These reminders are enabled by default. You can disable them in Kerio Connect Client settings — unselect the option Show reminders in toolbar in the Notifications section (Reminders in earlier versions).

Reminders can be accompanied by a sound. For more information refer to Receiving instant messages - Notifications.T

The icon in the top bar shows the number of events that:

• Have already started (grayed out)
• Are about to start

You can dismiss the reminders so that you no longer see them, or you can postpone them.

If you have more than one reminder, you can select Dismiss All or Dismiss All Missed events.
