Cannot dismiss reminders (MODIFICATION_FAILED)

Beitrag von qwertyasdf »

Hi FJ et al, long time user here.

Thanks for providing this important software and support forum. Sorry for posting, but couldn't find a solution to my problem although extensive searching. I'm sure I'm not the only one that encountered this and that the solution is simple.

I have an Android phone (Pixel 2) + a Windows 10 machine. I have been syncing between the phone's calendars, MPE's Organizer and Thunderbird's Calendar without problems for years.

For irrelevant reasons I have not used this computer for a long time so when finally syncing I got a crap-load of reminders as expected.

Problem is I can't dismiss all reminders. Seems like only reminders for events older than a month has this problem.

What to do? Some setting to be expanded to more than a month?

Regards
Per

I just tested this.
Reminders from past tens shouldn't actually be displayed in MPE?!
Is it that kind of memory?

Which MPE version did you install?

Hi icke, many thanks for responding. Problem might be gone now, see below.
Is it that kind of memory?
Not sure. I'm talking about a "list of reminders" called something like '10 Reminders', not individual pop-ups as it looks like in your image (sorry for not using the correct lingo here).
Edit: Seems like it's actually the Thunderbird reminder list I'm blabbing about, MPE is innocent! My bad, sorry.

When I synced after the long pause there were lots of reminders, way more than 10, in the list. I successively dismissed them one-by-one until I had 10 active reminders in the list. 9 were old and "sticky" (the problematic ones), 1 was new (and probably dismissable, but I didn't want to dismiss because it's still valid).

But the problem might actually be gone now :o When I started checking for versions, I noticed that Thunderbird needed update! I updated it and resynced and suddenly all 9 stuck reminders were gone! Also after restart of MPE (the list reappeared some minutes after with the valid reminder only, which is correct).

Current versions (for reference)
MPE: 2.0
Thunderbird: 102.8.0 (32-bit) (Just updated!)
MyPhoneExplorer extension (Thunderbird): 3.0.27
MyPhoneExplorer Client (phone): 2.8

So, I guess problem is solved... I will return to this thread if it reappears.
Thanks for your support!
