Different reminders for home/work tasks

markgraves says:
I'd like my work task reminders sent to my work email address and personal reminders to my home address. Anyone know if it's possible? The reminders seem to be a global setting rather than task related so I'm not hopeful :-(

Hi graves,

The reminder settings apply to all tasks; this isn't possible currently, sorry. :(

Reminders remain an area that need improving, but since this thread began there's a good workaround using Gcal.

Ignore the "since this thread began" phrase above. Cut and paste sabotage.

graves,
since you already have the tasks separated, maybe you could use some kind of RSS service to email you about a task? For example, I've heard of services that will email you with updates to an RSS feed.

You'd probably want to create a smart list, e.g. "list:Work AND due:today" and use that as your RSS feed. I'm not sure it'd approximate what you want though; it'd probably just email you the day of (unless there's a way of searching based on the due time?).

On the other hand, I also want to be reminded of work and personal tasks in the appropriate time/context, so I have it IM me (I can be on Gmail at work), which comes to me wherever I am. If you're able to check your IM/email/phone at work, perhaps you could have it contact you appropriately and you'd be able to get the reminders?

Just two workarounds I can think of; hopefully one of those will help!
