In the example screen shot above, Talking Reminder will try to show the alert window five times. If you did not see this window or choose to ignore it Talking Reminder will try to send an email out to you with the event description.
NOTE: If the email could not be sent out, Talking Reminder will append the error message to the alert description and after a few minutes it will try to show you the alert window. If you miss this as well - it will try to send an email again. This procedure will repeat itself to make sure you do not miss an event.
If you only choose to send an email out, but did not choose to show the alert window and email sending fails - Talking Reminder will force the alert window one time to try to alert you about the problem and the event. If you finally miss this as well - the process will repeat itself.
