What do you guys use for a simple appointment or reminder manager?
Nothing fancy; I'd like to input a date/time and get a popup or an
email some time ahead that the appointment is up.

Integration in email or some other personal information manager is not
needed; in fact, I would prefer a standalone application since I use
^^^^^^^^^^^
Emacs for mail and actually manage my appointments on another
^^^^^
system. It's just that I don't want to forget the next telecon when
I'm deeply buried in work. ;-) I.e., Evolution or Kontact are too
heavy for my taste.

iCal object support would be nice, but is not a must. I would prefer a
GUI, but that is neither a showstopper.

Since you use Emacs, why not use appt.el? You can configure it to get
a popup frame. And use icalendar.el for iCal support.

I didn't knew about appt.el -- I knew only diary for appointments, and that doesn't do popups. Thanks for the hint.
