Set your Outlook.com calendar to email event alerts automatically.

A former freelance contributor who has reviewed hundreds of email programs and services since 1997.

The Calendar on Outlook.com offers a feature that can send email reminders for calendar events to you and invitees.

You will still receive notifications for events you may have set, but an email message is also sent to your inbox.

This can be helpful if you are in your email inbox often and might miss other forms of notifications.

Its also useful because you can include a custom message with the emailed reminder.

Select the calendar event you want to add an email reminder to, and press Edit.

Open the Remind me dropdown, and choose when you want an email reminder to be sent for this event.

You may also add a reminder message in the email sent by entering it in the text box labeled Enter a reminder message here (optional).

If you would like an email reminder to also be sent to invitees of this event, check the box next to Send to attendees.

Press Save. Now you and your guests will receive an email reminder.
