Reminders from other People's appointments with shared calendars?

[dave_kempe]

Hi,
after upgrading to 6.0.5, we are getting a few reports that people with shared calendars are getting reminders for the shared calendars of other people.
So user A has shared calendars with user B. User B makes an appointment with user C in their own calendar, but user A gets a reminder about the appointment when the time comes.
user A is only a viewer of the calendar for user B in this instance actually.

Anyone else get the same problem? I will lodge a bug and or support request about it, but I just wanted to check to see if it might have been something someone was doing wrong.

This is with 6.0.5, ZCS advanced web interface on Firefox.

Updated bug - this is not a remote calendar, simply a Zimbra shared calendar internally using the ZCS web interface to arrange the sharing.

This is a killer issue! Can't update my customers because of this.. It would cause a lot of panic! Reminders never worked very well.. I hope for a redesign.. There should be a reminder manager or something, where you could for example re-active reminders you dismissed!

Please update your forum profile with the output of the following command (do not post the output in this thread):

If you think this is a problem then you should add your comments to the bug report mentioned above, if it's something different that you want then feel free to file an RFE in Bugzilla Main Page - Zimbra for it, do search first to see if anything has already been filed. Don't forget to add your vote to any bug or RFE you're interested in and if you're an NE customer you should raise a support case and get that added to bugs/RFEs.

Does this still happen to y'all if the preference "Show reminders for past-due meetings" is unchecked?

I can easily reproduce the reminders-for-shares problem with that setting checked, but not if it's unchecked. Startup is certainly less annoying without past-due reminders.

To set at command line, zmprov ma user@example.com zimbraPrefCalendarShowPastDueReminders FALSE and then shift-reload the browser session.

I don't get why this isn't quickly fixed as it was broken.. Sometimes looks like people at zimbra don't care much about their paying customers.. fill a bug is not an answer for people who pay you at least to maintain the basic functions of the product when upgrading. A serious issue like this (lots of people use it and will be annoyed by this) requires an immediate hot fix or something. We can't "wait for the next release", and we we will not be using a support ticket for something you didn't test and broke
