When the Outlook Calendar has an alert, perhaps to tell me about a meeting or some other deadline, it sometimes does not appear as an alert box on the screen and instead appears as a blinking tab on the taskbar.
With the number of tabs I have open on the taskbar, it gets lost, and I probably am clicking too much to notice the alert box. I've missed or become late for a few appointments due to this somewhat passive nature of the alert box.
Is there anything I can do to make the alert a modal window, or otherwise be more "obnoxious" so that I am assured I must deal with it and not potentially miss a meeting? I would prefer to not have to use a different solution.
