           Summary: kalendarac: Notifications miss option to remind later
                    with other time duration than 5 minutes
           Product: Akonadi

  Target Milestone: ---

With the removal of korgac, the calendar notifications now miss an option to
remind later other than 5 minutes. 

I had several use cases for this remind later functionality. Here are some
examples:

1. I often trigger a reminder well ahead of an event, because I need some time
to prepare myself for that event (e.g. read some protocol of a previous
meeting). When I am currently doing something else I often delayed the reminder
to remind me again when my current doing is no longer interrupted or the other
event becomes time critical. With the 5 minutes delay it is impossible to work
without disturbance if my current doing is taking another hour or so.

2. Sometimes events span several days (e.g. at some week I am responsible to
clean the coffee machine at work). So i configure one reminder each day.
However, when I am currently not close to the kitchen, I let me remind later,
when I know I am back in office. 

Of course it is also possible to re-configure an event. However, this i 
A. very cumbersome 
B. not very good for periodic events (e.g. the the periodic coffee machine job
of example 2)

Thus, I propose the re-implement this regressed feature.
