Missed email reminders have plagued Google Calendar for years

Google's calendar service for home users and businesses has been plagued with missed email reminders for years, and Google is still struggling the fix the problem, according to support forums. One support forum on Google.com titled "Google Calendar Email Notification Not Working" was started in September 2010, and is still going strong with dozens of posts this week alone. Another support thread on Calendar email reminders begun in January 2009 is still active, while an older thread shows the problems date back to at least 2008.
