Question 1:

Ok, I've been adjusting settings and preferences with omnifocus for mac and iphone. I want to make omnifocus tasks automatically alert me by email or SMS for tasks that contain due dates (dont think sms is possible just email is fine). Right now I'm going in the tasks list in ical or mail (after i sync omnifocus and ical), and manually adding the email alerts to the tasks. Is there a way to configure automatic email alerts?

Question 2:

Also I configured omnifocus for iphone to create a notifications calendar (the setting in preferences). How exactly does this function work? Can anyone describe the exact behavior of this function? I went into ical and subscribed to that calendar at me.com/example/duesoon.ics (or something along those lines) and it adds data to the calendar for events and times ( but not all events). Im just trying to understand this feature. I would love to be able to set a task and due date and have it appear in the calendar, as opposed to the task list like it does now. My impression is that this creates alerts for my upcoming tasks, and if subscribed to in ical (as i don't think it was intended) you can see the todo's in calendar.

Any information about any of this would be appreciated. Thank You
