624434 - Can't dismiss event alarms for Microsoft Exchange or Google Calendar when we are offline.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 356002

(Calendar :: Alarms, defect)

Description

[Ajay Simha]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13
Build Identifier: 

Dismiss does not work when we are not connected to Exchange server. I am using the Cached version and I can see my calendar when I'm offline and alarms do go off as they are supposed to but dismiss, snooze etc seem to rely on being connected to Exchange server.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure lighting with Exchange 2003 (that is what I use)
2. Create an event that has an alarm and go offline before alarm goes off
3. When you are offline and alarm goes off, try to dismiss the alarm.


Expected Results:  
Alarm snooze, dismiss should work. What ever needs to be communicated back to Exchange should happen when we connect back.

Sounds like it is basically the same as bug 356002. You cannot snooze/dismiss reminders if you cannot write to the calendar (e.g. because it's read-only or offline).

If I use iCal, I can snooze/dismiss when I'm not online for both Exchange and Google Cal.
