Hi,
a SharePoint calendar does not map the reminder info with Outlook.
Nevertheless, after searching a bit I found this link with the second answer showing some solutions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/529045/dated-reminders-in-sharepoint-calendars
I'm doing some quoting of his answer. Perhaps there is a solution that could suite better your needs:
"Expanding on Andy's answer (http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/articles/CreatingCustomSharePointTimerJobs.aspx)
if you just put code to send an email in the Execute method of the timer job this doesn't give you anything more than cron.
What you could do is to write code to iterate through the Calendar (actually an Event List) finding any events due soon and sending email to whomever is in the Assigned To field. This could then be called from the Timer Jobs Execute method or using a
normal scheduled task. This will be easier to administer changes than cron and could be used for other types of tasks.
A link to get you started -
Iterate through Items in a List
Another option would be to use
Workflow to send out emails from the calendar
This CodeProject article shows how to develop a
feature to send scheduled reminders
Yet another option would be to use one of the 3rd party tools that do this (disclaimer - I work for the first company)
Finally - whichever method you choose (custom code/workflow/3rd party) you will likely run into trouble with recurring events as SharePoint doesn't provide a way to get an 'expanded' list of all occurrences."
