Birthday reminders: If this option is enabled, birthday reminders are automatically transferred from the phone book folders unless they have a corresponding field of the type "Date of Birth". The entries are registered with a lead time of 10 days in the appointment list. The alarm warning time for birthday reminders is in the basic configuration 7 days. It can be adjusted in "alarm defaults for category".

Individual phone book folders can be excluded from the search for birthday reminders, if the "Report No birthdays for this folder" option is enabled in the folder properties.
