I'm using Evolution and I like the way it works. The only problem is that I'm constantly struggling to have birthdays reminders.
A known bug prevents Evolution to play an alarm for the Birthdays calendar, even if it should, so you have to manually check the calendar from time to time. This was annoying enough, but now I'm not even able to use the Birthdays calendar. It suddenly became blank (the birthdays are still set for the contacts). Whenever I modify a contact, his birthday appears in the calendar, only to disappear the next time I launch Evolution.
So I'm looking for an alternative. I just need any application that
1) Is able to remind me a birthday
2) Can synchronize with Evolution contacts
2) is fundamental: I don't want to manually write every birthday, and update the list every time I add another contact to Evolution. Then it maybe a web app, a cli application or whatever, provided it works. :)
Any ideas?
