Hi!
Is there a way SM2 can notify users about birthdays from its
addressbooks (*.mab) like an alarm or something?
Thank you in advance. :)
Not natively, but there are a couple of alternatives:
*-Lightning, which is a calendar development and separate program
(like browser and email are separate programs of the suite)
*-An SM add-on called ReminderFox.
I can't speak for Lightning, but there is a support newsgroup for it
on this server. We use ReminderFox, which integrates into the
browser and mail windows. You set your reminders by date, and how
you want the program to remind you, and you're set. It doesn't read
anything from your *.mab files, but once you've put recurring events
in, it'll repeat the reminders next time 'round.
We have it installed on SM 2.0.11 under XP and Windows 7 machines,
and no complaints.
Just to add a note to ReminderFox:
With current version you can add a Reminder for a TB/Addressbook Card.
And the 'birthday' of that card will be passed to the reminder and get
the starting date with birtgdayDay/birthdayMonth/currentYear, the
birthdayXear is passed to the subject, so you have a new reminder like
this:
"[Contact] lastName firstName <year>"
The <year> is .. as usual with ReminderFox .. a variable and in the
list it will be shown as 'age'.
Tip:
And you can open the TB/AB card from the ReminderFox List with context
menu on the reminder line. Menu item [Open Addressbook Card].
(Requires TB3.x)

Sorry, this is a SM NG .. so read:
