Comment	> I am using horde webmail 5.1.3 with kronolith 4.1.4. > When using iCal (ICS) remote subscription on Mozilla Thunderbird 24.3 > + Lightning 2.6.4 I keep getting random reset on previous events > alarms status.

(Lightning actual behavior) > > Moreover, to help with broken alarm dismissal client implementations > (or read-only access trying to update alarm status info) it may be > helpful to add a config/pref to Kronolith in order to remove expired > alarms for iCal export. Since iCal cannot store the status of alarm > notification (to my knowledge after reading the RFC, that's why > Mozilla seem to have added an extension for this) I don't see any > other mean to get rid of past notifications. > Either way, another subscription URL or better a query string (<ics > url>?no_expired_alarms=1) could make it configurable by the > subscriber for each client.
