When i'm not in front of the mac i have to see that there was/is an appointment, so the dialog is helpfull. But when i'm working on the mac while a notification is comming up, it's really annoying because the dialog is getting the focus. So when i'm typing something (chat, editor, etc.) the keystrokes are eaten by the notification-dialog. The iCal-Icon is jumping in the dock. I then have to close the dialog and switch to iCal once to calm it down. I wish that there was a better way to notify me. Something like an overlay that is not getting the focus. Maybe some of you have a solution for that? i’ve never tried the email-notification but i’m using the ical-notification with sound and dialog.

After upgrading to 10.5.1, it does. Go figure! After archiving and installing 10.5, Mail (or Keychain) would not remember my password. After upgrading to 10.5.1, it does. Go figure!

It has always bugged me. I think that in Tiger, Mail was ususally left in the background, so it doesn't interrupt you, but if you are using Mail when an alarm fires, I can't imagine that it would really be able to do anything other than bother you. iCal has always used applescript to tell Mail to send e-mails.
